Check out this stunning chicken marinade that’ll elevate your grilled chicken to the next level. This marinade is perfect for all occasions, whether it’s a weekend BBQ, family dinner, or just a treat for yourself. Let’s get it started!

Chicken marinade with chicken breasts in bag

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, honey, minced garlic, smoked paprika, black pepper, salt, and thyme until all ingredients are well combined.
  2. Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, making sure it’s all coated nicely.
  3. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours—preferably overnight. The longer, the better!
  4. When you’re ready to grill, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess drip off.
  5. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). The outside should be a beautiful golden brown and slightly charred.
  6. Once done, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, keeping it moist and flavorful.
  7. Serve up your grilled chicken with your favorite sides and enjoy the scrumptious flavor of this marinade!

Now, if that doesn’t get your mouth watering, I don’t know what will! This grilled chicken marinade is sure to impress everyone at the table. So, don’t just sit there—get to marinating!
