Cover and refrigerate the chicken overnight or for up to 24 hours.
Light a grill or preheat the broiler. Grill or broil the chicken for about 12 minutes per side, turning once, until juices run clear when the chicken flesh is pierced with the tip of a sharp knife.
Serve the chicken hot off the grill or grill ahead and serve the chicken cold.
