Answer
Hi
Chicken tends to absorb the flavors fast so its best to marinade chicken 3 hours before cooking time. Shake off excess marinade before grilling. Sear on both sides for about 2 minutes per side and then place the chicken on the low heat side of your grill to continue cooking for about 3 to 5 minutes depending on the size. I would use a thermometer to check for doneness (170 degrees F) and you can put on additional sauce twords the end of the cooking process. Allow the boneless chicken to sit 5 minutes off the grill before serviing so that they get nice and juicy.

If you want more information on cooking ribs feel free to ask again. Ribs on the grill (medium head) generally take anywhere from 40 to 60 minutes to cook its done when it reaches an internal temperature of  160 degrees. I also would suggest you check out some of my previous responses to other people in regards to cooking ribs. There are some good ideas there that might help you.

Good luck and feel free to ask me more questions.

Happy grilling,
