Could be the secret?

Mojo chicken baby! An orange, a lime or two, some cumin and garlic, so simple. Give your chicky a quick 20 minute bath in that stuff and you got a tasty, fast, super easy dinner thats darn healthy too!

A fried chicken place in Dothan, Alabama, made the best chicken I have had. It was Ron’s Fried Chicken. I once asked him the secret and he said they marinated the chicken over night. They called it “flavor to the bone”.

Unfortunately he fired and employee for stealing and the Black community in Dothan boycotted him. I think it then failed but not certain.

Consult Steven Raichlan - The undisbuted GOD of Barbeque.

Mojo is generally garlic with a citrus type ingrediant like orange

Not the answer you’re looking for, but related.

There is a large supermarket near me, like you’d have anywhere. But, they have a special meat display with chicken from a nearby Amish area. There is no doubt about the difference in quality from the regular commercial chicken.

From Epicurious: Garlic Mojo Sauce. INGREDIENTS:
1/2 cup olive oil
8 garlic cloves, pressed or finely chopped
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 medium Fresno chile, thinly sliced
1/2 cup fresh lime juice (from about 4 limes)
1/2 cup fresh orange juice (from about 1 orange)
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
The problem with commercial marinades is their sugar and tomato content. Every major sauce in the grocery isle has these two ingredients. When placed over the high heat of the BBQ, it burns, spoiling the chicken and making it unappetizing, at least how I see it. It smells great but looks awful and tastes mediocre.

Try soaking the chicken pieces in water and vinegar for about an hour, drain completely and dry very well on paper towels. Never salt a meat before grilling, but only on the grill with a little pepper.
Clean the hot grill with an oiled sheet of paper or cloth towel. Grill over medium heat (I use mesquite wood) turning as necessary to avoid any burning, but getting a nice brown until cooked. Take off the grill, cover and let rest about five minutes, then apply any marinade lightly on chicken. Serve and see how tender the chicken will be. I could give you my recipe for the sauce I use but it is a secret, something people have threatened me for. Sorry for the spoiler. Enjoy.

I would love to know the secret to grilling boneless chicken breast and having it come out moist. Mine is always dry no matter what I do.
