Method
In a medium bowl or plastic zip-top bag, combine the olive oil, garlic cloves, thyme, basil, salt, pepper, lemon zest, mustard, Worcestershire, and brown sugar.
Add the chicken to the marinade and toss to coat the chicken well. Let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
Preheat the grill on high. Place the chicken on the grill, then reduce the heat to medium-high. Cover the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until char marks are present. Flip and cook, turning occasionally, until the internal temperature registers 165°F on an instant read thermometer, 7-8 minutes more
Transfer the chicken to a serving platter and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
