A simple marinade of olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic — and even a dash of lemon or lime juice — would work well on the chicken for any of these recipes. You can also try the included seasoning suggestions for each. Grill your chicken and once fully cooked, drizzle the chosen sauce over it or use the sauce as a dip. These sauces also pair well with chicken cooked on the stove or in the oven or slow cooker.
