    Remove chicken from marinade, discarding the marinade. Place chicken skin-side down directly on the grill grate and cook for 20 minutes. Flip and cook 10 minutes more. Flip again and cook an additional 5 minutes to crisp up the skin. Remove from the Traeger when the internal temperature reaches 165°F in the thickest part.
