Description

A flavorful marinade that infuses grilled chicken with savory and sweet notes, perfect for weeknight dinners and gatherings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup vinegar (white or apple cider)
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme

Instructions

  1. Whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, vinegar, honey, minced garlic, black pepper, onion powder, and dried thyme until well combined.
  2. Place your chicken in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish, then pour the marinade generously over the top.
  3. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 24 hours for more intense flavor.
  4. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  5. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the excess marinade.
