Description

Unlock the flavors of juicy chicken with this delicious marinade that tenderizes and infuses incredible taste.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup Olive oil
  • 1/4 cup Soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Honey
  • 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
  • 4 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Salt

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, honey, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, lemon juice, dried oregano, ground black pepper, and salt. Whisk everything together until fully merged.
  2. Once your marinade is ready, place your chicken in a large resealable plastic bag or a glass dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, making sure it’s evenly coated.
  3. Seal the bag or cover the dish, then place it in the refrigerator. Let the chicken marinate for at least one hour, but for the best flavor, let it marinate for up to six hours or overnight if you can wait!
  4. Preheat your grill, oven, or pan. Remove the chicken from the marinade, shaking off any excess, and cook it to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  5. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before cutting. This allows the juices to redistribute, making each bite juicy and tender.

Notes

Avoid marinating the chicken for more than six hours to prevent mushiness. Always rest the chicken after cooking for the best results.
