- Add chicken pieces (about 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs) to the marinade.
- Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight.
- Remove chicken from marinade and let sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before grilling.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
