Steps:
- Place chicken in a gallon size resealable bag (or you can use a bowl).
- In a mixing bowl whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.
- Pour marinade over chicken in bag (or bowl). Seal bag while pressing out excess air.
- Rub marinade over chicken (I also like to twist and tie top of bag so marinade fully covers the chicken).
- Let marinade in fridge for 2 to 8 hours for breasts and 2 to 24 hours for thighs.
- Heat over medium-high heat to 400 degrees. Partway through heating don't forget to clean and oil grill grates (with a little vegetable oil or olive oil using tongs and a balled up paper towel).
- Remove chicken from marinade while shaking excess marinade off back into bag. Transfer to grill and cook covered about 5 to 8 minutes per side.
- Cook time varies based on thickness, check internal temperature of chicken in thickest portion to 165 degrees for doneness.
- Garnish with parsley if desired. Serve warm.

Steps:

Baste with marinade on each side when flipping chicken. Chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove chicken from grill, cover, and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
