Grilling season has begun! We actually grill all year long because that’s easy to do in Arizona, but I think it’s warm enough now that the rest of the world is grilling too. You’ll need some good grilling recipes on hand to get you through the summer. This is my favorite grilled chicken with an easy-to-make, delicious marinade. I make it often, and I throw some veggies on the grill too!

Preheat your grill. Drain the marinade from the chicken. Grill the chicken, about 5 minutes on each side, until done. Baste occasionally with the sauce.
