  2. Remove chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade.
  3. Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
  4. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side or until fully cooked and juices run clear.
  5. Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

For more flavor, use bone-in chicken. You can also swap ginger with fresh lime juice for a zesty twist, or add smoked paprika to the marinade for a smoky touch.
