Place the chicken pieces in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.

Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Once hot, place the marinated chicken on the grill, skin-side down. Grill for about 6 minutes on each side, basting with the remaining marinade, until the chicken is charred and cooked through with a caramelized crust.
Watch outEnsure the grill is not too hot to avoid burning the sugar in the marinade. Adjust the heat as necessary.
