Wonderful Chicken Marinade ๐Ÿ—

Overview:

  • Prep Time: 24 hours
  • Cook Time: 40 minutes
  • Total Time: 1 day and 40 minutes
  • Servings: Approximately 2 cups of marinade

Description:

A delightful chicken marinade, meticulously crafted with a harmonious blend of ingredients, resulting in an exquisite flavor profile. Whether grilled to succulent perfection or baked in the oven, this marinade promises to elevate your chicken dish to new heights. Prepare in advance, as the chicken requires an overnight soak in the refrigerator to achieve optimal flavor infusion.

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup minced garlic
  • 2 cups soy sauce
  • 2/3 cup cider vinegar
  • 1/3 cup freshly ground black pepper

Instructions:

  1. Preparation:

    • In a blender, combine honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, cider vinegar, and freshly ground black pepper.
  2. Marinating:

    • Pour the marinade over chicken pieces, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated.
    • Cover the marinated chicken and refrigerate overnight, allowing the flavors to meld and penetrate the meat.
  3. Grilling:

    • When ready to cook, remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off.
    • Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
    • Grill the chicken until it is cooked through, with an internal temperature of 165ยฐF (75ยฐC), and the juices run clear, typically about 6-8 minutes per side depending on the thickness of the chicken.
  4. Oven-Baking:

    • Alternatively, preheat your oven to 375ยฐF (190ยฐC).
    • Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it in a baking dish.
    • Bake for approximately 40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through, tender, and golden brown.
