1. To prepare chicken, add chicken pieces to marinade and toss lightly to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 1 hour.
2. Prepare a medium-hot fire for grilling. Brush the rack with 2 tablespoons olive oil and place meat 3 inches from source of heat. Grill, covered, 5 to 7 minutes per side, or until the chicken is opaque all the way through.
Note: To prepare the chicken stovetop, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a nonstick skillet. Add chicken; cook until done, 8 to 10 minutes, turning once. Remove from the heat and cool slightly. Serve with a vegetable and rice or noodles, or use in salads or stir-fried dishes. Serves 6.
