Transfer marinade to a large resealable plastic bag. Season the chicken with salt generously and then toss in marinade. Seal bag and turn to coat. Keep it in fridge for no less than 2 hours.

Remember to let the chicken sit at room temperature 1 hour before grilling.

Set your grill at medium heat, and lightly oil the grate. Take chicken out of marinade and discard any excess drip.
