For extra flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup to the marinade. If you don't have fresh oregano, you can substitute 1/2 teaspoon of dried oregano. Be careful not to overcook the chicken, as it can become dry. Use a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches the proper internal temperature. Serve with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.

Dec 4, 2023I don't have a grill, so I broiled the chicken instead. It turned out great! Just be sure to watch it carefully so it doesn't burn.
