Instructions
Preparation Steps
Place chicken in a gallon size resealable bag (or you can use a bowl).
In a mixing bowl whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.
Pour marinade over chicken in bag (or bowl). Seal bag while pressing out excess air.
Rub marinade over chicken (twist and tie top of bag so marinade fully covers the chicken).
Let marinate in fridge for 2 to 8 hours for breasts and 2 to 24 hours for thighs.
Heat grill over medium-high heat to 400 degrees. Partway through heating, clean and oil grill grates.
Remove chicken from marinade, shaking excess marinade back into the bag. Transfer to grill and cook covered about 5 to 8 minutes per side.
Cook time varies based on thickness. Check internal temperature of chicken in the thickest portion to 165 degrees for doneness.
Garnish with parsley if desired. Serve warm.
