    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!!

      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
