When ready, grill the chicken on a hot, clean and lubricated grill. Grill on one side over direct heat for about 5 minutes until grill marks set in. Turn and grill on other side and grill over indirect heat for at least 10 minutes, until fully cooked. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness at 180'F.
When ready, transfer to plates or serving platter and enjoy!
