Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

In a mixing bowl, combine apple cider vinegar, beef broth, grapeseed oil, and brown sugar. Whisk until fully blended.
Place chicken in a zip-top bag or shallow dish. Pour marinade over chicken, seal or cover, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
Prepare your grill with a two-zone fire and preheat to medium-high heat (375°F to 450°F).
Grill chicken on high heat for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown, then move to cooler zone until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Let the chicken rest for 5-10 minutes, then slice and serve with your favorite sides.
