Method:

Combine the lemon zest, lemon juice, ginger, brown sugar, oil, salt, and chiles in a zip-close plastic bag. Add the chicken, squeeze out the air, and seal the bag; turn to coat the chicken. Refrigerate, turning the bag occasionally, at least 15 minutes.

Spray the grill or broiler rack with nonstick spray. Preheat the grill or broiler on high. If broiling, position the rack about 5 inches from the heat source. Grill or broil the chicken until cooked through, about 6 minutes per side.
