@ddev70: Our Favorite Chicken Marinade Ingredients ¼ cup olive oil ¼ cup soy sauce 2 tbsp lemon juice or vinegar 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 tsp honey or brown sugar 1 tsp Dijon mustard 1 tsp paprika ½ tsp black pepper ½ tsp dried thyme or oregano Optional: pinch of red chili flakes for heat 🔪 Instructions Combine ingredients: In a bowl or resealable bag, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, garlic, honey, mustard, paprika, pepper, and herbs. Marinate chicken: Add chicken pieces (breasts, thighs, drumsticks, or wings) and coat evenly. Seal bag or cover bowl. Marinating time: Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably 2–4 hours. For extra flavor, marinate up to 8 hours. Cook chicken: Grill, bake, or pan-sear until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Serve: Let rest 5 minutes before slicing or serving to keep chicken juicy. 💡 Tips & Variations For spicy chicken, add 1 tsp cayenne pepper or sriracha. Use lime juice instead of lemon for a slightly different tang. Add fresh herbs like rosemary, parsley, or cilantro for extra aroma. Double the marinade to reserve some for brushing during cooking, but don’t reuse raw marinade. ❤️ Why You’ll Love It This marinade makes chicken juicy, tender, and bursting with flavor, no matter the cooking method. It’s simple, adaptable, and becomes an instant favorite for weeknight dinners, meal prep, or entertaining.
