My family affectionately calls this recipe the best chicken thigh marinade ever. So easy, flavorful and delicious.

We are super lucky to live in a place where we can grill all year round, and boy do we take advantage of it. Grilling is my favorite way of cooking. Way less mess to clean up, and the flavor is amazing.

Enter, the best chicken thigh marinade, ever.

But back to the recipe at hand.

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.
