Grilling chicken
4. Drain each breast, place on hot grill fire for 10-15 minutes per side, depending on size of breast.

Note

The Big Boy book says "Marinade can be drained from steaks or chops for a second use", however I would not recommend doing that. Our knowledge of cross-contamination of meats is more developed than it was when this recipe booklet was printed. Especially DO NOT use marinade that has been used for one kind of meat for a different kind.
You can, however store the marinade before use in the refrigerator for a week, or freeze it for several months.
