Notes
- Chicken is fully cooked when a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken reads 75 degrees Celcius (165 degrees F).
- Chicken can also be cooked in the oven in a roasting pan for 15 to 20 minutes, by allowing the chicken breasts to soak in the juices instead of letting the juice fall into the fire.
- Keep your chicken from getting too dark by cooking it at medium heat and not directly over the hot coals.
- If you are worried about the alcohol content of the Guinness beer, use alcohol-free Guinness instead.
- While the chicken marinates, turn it occasionally for an even flavour.
- Instead of honey, you can substitute for sugar, simple syrup, or maple syrup.
