Ingredients
- 1 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Juice of 1 lemon
Instructions
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, and honey until well combined.
- Add the minced garlic, salt, black pepper, Italian seasoning, and lemon juice to the bowl. Stir everything together until the marinade is fully mixed.
- Place your chicken breasts (or thighs) in a large resealable plastic bag or a glass dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap.
- Refrigerate the chicken for at least 1 hour, but for best results, marinate it overnight. This allows the flavors to really soak in.
- When you’re ready to cook, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off.
- Grill the chicken for about 6-8 minutes per side or until fully cooked (165°F internal temperature). Make sure to brush a little extra marinade onto the chicken while it grills for even more flavor!
- Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. This helps keep it juicy!
- Enjoy your delicious grilled chicken on its own, or pair it with your favorite sides!
This grilled chicken marinade is not just about flavor; it’s about bringing people together around the grill. So grab your ingredients, fire up that grill, and prepare for some delicious moments!
