• 1⁄2 cup olive oil

1. Combine first 9 ingredients in a large, resealable plastic bag; add chicken to bag. Press the air out of the bag, and seal tightly. Turn the bag several times to distribute the marinade; place the bag in a bowl, and refrigerate 1 hour, turning occasionally.
2. Remove chicken from marinade, discarding marinade. Grill the chicken, with the grill lid closed, over medium heat (400 to 450 degrees) until chicken is firm and juices run clear, 8-12 minutes or until done, turning once or twice.
