Ingredients 🛒

  • 1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 cup barbecue sauce
  • 1 boneless chicken breast (or your choice of meat)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar

Instructions 📝

  1. Tenderize the Meat: Begin by tenderizing the meat of your choice with a fork. This helps the marinade penetrate deeper for maximum flavor.

  2. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, combine Worcestershire sauce, barbecue sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, and brown sugar. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

  3. Marinate the Meat: Place the tenderized meat in a stainless steel bowl or a ziplock baggie. Pour the marinade over the meat, ensuring it is completely covered. If using a baggie, remove as much air as possible before sealing.

  4. Refrigerate: Once the meat is fully coated, refrigerate it for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld together. This step is crucial for achieving the best taste and tenderness.

  5. Grill: After marinating, remove the meat from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature while you preheat your grill to medium heat. Grill the meat for about 10-15 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and caramelized, basting with any leftover marinade during cooking.

  6. Serve and Enjoy: Once cooked, let the meat rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Pair it with your favorite sides like grilled vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad. Enjoy the delicious flavors of this ultimate easy marinade!
