To prepare, you can grill the chicken over medium-high heat for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until cooked through and slightly charred. Alternatively, bake it in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway. For a faster option, pan-fry the pieces in a lightly oiled skillet over medium-high heat until browned and cooked through. Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
