Light the charcoal in the grill. Once all the charcoal has burned down, move it to the side. Place the grill rack, close the grill, and let it heat for 5 minutes. Alternatively, preheat the oven on grill mode for 10 minutes. Clean and oil the grill rack.

Place the chicken on the grill, cover it, and cook for about 4 minutes, turning the pieces occasionally but not flipping until the chicken is almost fully cooked. Then flip the chicken and fry on the other side until done, about 30 seconds. Transfer to a plate. Mix the remaining marinade and drizzle it over the chicken. Serve the finished cutlets hot.
