The Best Chicken Marinade Recipe
The beautiful thing about this recipe is how simple it is. Add the chicken thighs to a large bowl or ziplock bag along with all the other ingredients and mix well. Marinate for several hours, or overnight.
Once the chicken has had a chance to marinade cook on the grill until done.
