6-7 Basil leaves, chopped
1/2 cup Red wine Vinegar
1 tsp Brown Sugar (or white)
Salt, for sprinkling, to taste

Transfer into a metal or glass bowl, cover and marinate for at least 3 to 4 hours, or if possible, overnight.
4.) Pre-heat the grill to the highest temperature setting. Lay the chicken on metal wire racks and grill for about 12-15 mins on each side.
5.) Allow the chicken to rest for about 3-5 mins inside the oven before serving.
