By soaking the chicken in a marinade like one made with ginger beer and fresh ripe mango, you allow the flavors to penetrate deep into the meat, resulting in a dish that is not only flavorful but also tender and juicy. 

Marinating also helps tenderize tougher cuts of meat and can impart additional moisture, making the grilled chicken more succulent and enjoyable to eat. Therefore, marinated grilled chicken is easy to make, starting with a marinade full of flavor from ginger beer and fresh ripe mango.
