The BEST Chicken Marinade

Step 1

Combine all ingredients, except for chicken, in a large Pyrex measuring cup or mixing bowl and whisk together.

Step 2

Remove a half a cup of marinade and reserve for basting the chicken later.

Step 3

Place chicken in a large, ziploc bag and pour marinade over the top. Close securely.

Step 4

Marinate for at least 4 hours and up to 24 hours.

Step 5

Preheat grill to medium high heat and lightly oil the grates.

Step 6

Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting the excess drip off.

Step 7

Grill chicken for 5 to 6 minutes on each side or until cooked through.

Step 8

Baste the chicken occasionally with the reserved marinade.

Step 9

Remove chicken from grill and tent with foil. Let chicken rest for at least 5 minutes before serving

Step 10

If you bring the reserved marinade up to a boil, let simmer until slightly reduced, it makes a wonderful sauce to go on top of the chicken.
