Place chicken on a rack of an unheated broiler pan. Broil about 4 to 6 inches from heat for 8 to 10 minutes or until tender, brushing occasionally with reserved marinade. (Or grill chicken on an uncovered grill directly over medium-hot coals for 20 to 25 minutes or until tender, turning once.) Remove from heat. Cut chicken into strips. Cover and chill 2 to 24 hours.
