Golden-Brown Grilled Chicken Pieces refers to succulent cuts of chicken that have been marinated and grilled to perfection. The hallmark of this dish is its evenly caramelized exterior, a golden-brown hue that comes from the Maillard reaction — where proteins and sugars in the meat transform under heat to develop rich flavor and color.
