Prepare a grill for medium heat; oil grate with vegetable oil. Arrange chicken on grate, cover, and grill, turning halfway through, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of breasts registers 160°, 13–⏱️ 15 minutes. Transfer chicken to a cutting board and let rest ⏱️ 5 minutes before slicing.
