For a milder flavor, reduce the amount of habanero pepper or omit it altogether. Marinating the chicken for the full 24 hours will result in the most intense flavor. Be careful not to overcook the chicken, as it can become dry. Use a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). The reserved marinade can also be used as a dipping sauce for other grilled meats or vegetables.
