Grilling chicken can be intimidating, but it’s a very simple process that anyone can master. We are sharing our best tips and tricks for juicy, flavor filled peach mango grilled chicken that has the perfect char every time.

• Pre-marinate your chicken breast to help lock in the flavors and infuse more liquid. This can also assist in creating an outer crust that adds flavor and locks in the internal juices.
• Leave the chicken on the grill grates until they lift easily off at turning. If the chicken sticks it’s not quite ready to turn.
