  2. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (400°F) or preheat oven to 400°F.
  3. Remove chicken from fridge and let sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes. Grill for 6-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  4. Once cooked, let chicken rest for 5 minutes to redistribute juices. Slice and serve immediately with dipping sauces, salads, or pita bread.
