Description

A flavorful marinade that transforms chicken into a juicy masterpiece, perfect for summer cookouts and family gatherings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup vinegar (balsamic or apple cider)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon honey or brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, vinegar, lemon juice, minced garlic, honey, oregano, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  2. Place your chicken in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish.
  3. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are well coated.
  4. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. For the best flavor, let it marinate overnight.
  5. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and grill the chicken until fully cooked, about 6-7 minutes on each side, depending on thickness.

Notes

For a zesty twist, add orange or lime juice. Use low-sodium soy sauce for a healthier option.
