  • 2
    Heat gas or charcoal grill. Remove chicken from marinade; reserve marinade. Place chicken, skin sides down, on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook 15 minutes. Turn chicken; brush with marinade. Cover grill; cook 20 to 40 minutes longer, brushing occasionally with marinade, until juice of chicken is clear when thickest piece is cut to bone (170°F for breasts; 180°F for thighs and drumsticks). Discard any remaining marinade. Serve chicken with olives.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Cook chicken pieces evenly by placing the meatier pieces in the center of the grill rack and smaller pieces around the edge. Turn frequently.
  • tip 2
    Kalamata olives, known as the Cadillac of olives, are imported from Greece. The plump, purplish to black olives have a moist texture and a robust, winelike flavor.
