How long do i grill chicken?

I think I'm losing my memory. Please can you refresh it by telling me how long i should grill my chicken for? By the way I'm doing it in an oven! Shall i cover it as well?

1. I'd do 5 mins on each side, medium heat. But if you prong it through thickest part, juices should run clear when cooked
2. Grill until it's cooked and the juices run clear when you prick it.
3. You can just tell from the look of it but if you are really having a hard time then just make a little slit in the fattest part and look inside for any pink. With the cold weather I use my george forman and it takes maybe 10 minutes, it's much faster than a bbq.
4. It depends on how thick the chicken is and on what heat ! The answer is until its cooked.
5. Good rule of thumb 10 min per side, a little longer for thick breast. Works for me and nobody has gone to the hospital from eating my chicken.............Yet!
6. Don't cover it & broil on middle rack with oven door slightly open for 20-30 minutes on each side. Baste with BBQ sauce, butter & garlic or whatever you like. This is for a whole chicken cut in half. For leg quarters or breasts I'd probably broil them about 10-15 minutes on each side, depending on how big they are.
