What is the Mangoes & Palm Trees standard for grilled chicken?

We focus on the thermodynamics of the char. Our standard requires a 30-minute marinade soak to tenderize fibers, reaching a strict internal threshold of 165°F (74°C) for safety, followed by a 5-10 minute rest. Every technique is personally verified by Oliver, Natalia, and Victor to ensure restaurant-quality results work flawlessly in a family backyard setting.
