Instructions
    Marinate the Chicken:
    1. Remove any excess fat from the chicken and add to a large Ziploc Bag.
    2. Add all the marinade ingredients to a medium bowl. Whisk to combine and pour over the chicken. Seal the bag and massage with your hands to ensure all surface areas of the chicken are coated.
    3. Place the bag in the refrigerator and let marinate for 1 hours to 4 hours.

    Grill the Chicken:
    4. Pre-heat the grill to medium heat and set up for indirect cooking.
    5. Remove the chicken from the Ziploc bag and shake off any excess marinade. Discard the remaining marinade. Place the chicken on the direct heat side of the grill (skin side down if not using skinless). Grill for 10 minutes with the lid down. Flip the chicken and move to the indirect heat side of the grill and grill for 15-20 minutes. Grill until the internal temperature is 175 degrees F (or 165 degrees F for chicken breast)

    Roast the Chicken:
    6 Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees F. Remove the chicken from the Ziploc bag and shake off any excess marinade. Discard the remaining marinade. Transfer the chicken to a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 30-40 minutes, until the internal temperature is 175 degrees F (or 165 degrees F for chicken breast)
