Delicious Grilled Chicken Marinade Recipe for Perfectly Juicy Chicken

Ingredients

Servings:
5
  • 1 cup olive oil
  • 1 cup soy sauce (low sodium recommended)
  • 1 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the Marinade

    In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, honey, garlic, oregano, thyme, black pepper, and salt until well combined.

    Make sure the honey is fully dissolved.
  2. Marinate the Chicken

    Place chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is well coated.

    For best results, marinate for at least 1 hour, or overnight.
  3. Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

    Clean and oil the grill grates before cooking.
  4. Grill the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

    Avoid flipping the chicken too often to achieve nice grill marks.
  5. Rest and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

    Resting helps retain the juices in the chicken.
