    This absolutely amazing grilled chicken marinade will easily become a weekly favorite to mix up and enjoy a finger licking good meal.

    Now that summer is here, I am SO happy to be grilling more of my weekly stockpile of chicken instead of just baking it.  I really don’t know why we aren’t winter grillers. Something about having to shovel out the grill out of all the snow loses the excitement for me I guess.

    Are any of you winter grillers? (That live in northern states)  Am I completely missing the fun?

    For the lack of a better name, this amazing grilled chicken marinade is incredible!  I kind of adapted it from this Slow Cooker Pork Tenderloin that’s, you guessed it, amazing too.  Just adding a couple of other ingredients gives it a completely different taste.

    This is one of those that gets better the longer you marinade, like our favorite Italian Grilled Chicken.  I think it’s best marinading for 4-5 hours.

    Serve it with Roasted Potatoes and Balsamic Roasted Brussel Sprouts.  You can even top it with a yummy corn salsa or my new favorite Homemade Chimichurri Sauce.  So scrumptious!

    INGREDIENTS

    ½ cup olive oil

    ¼ cup low sodium soy sauce

    ¼ cup red wine vinegar

    2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

    4 tablespoon lemon juice

    1 tablespoon honey

    2 tablespoons prepared yellow mustard

    3-4 cloves minced garlic

    ½ tablespoon black pepper

    DIRECTIONS

    Combine all of the ingredient in a large bowl and mix thoroughly.

    Place the chicken in the marinade and marinade for at least 30 minutes to 6 hours. I find it best at about 4-5 hours. Too long will make it take too vinegary.

    Grill the chicken until completely cooked and no longer pink in the center.

    ENJOY!!

      This sounds so much better than the Italian dressing I once used.

      I had to chuckle; we are totally winter grillers! But… we do have a covered patio and we put the grill down there for the winter so the snow removal is kept to a minimum. This sounds delicious! PInned… and I’ll be checking out those roasted brussel sprouts too
