Best Patricks Secret Chicken Marinade For Grilling Recipes

GRILLED CHICKEN MARINADE

Steps:

• For the marinade: Combine the olive oil, soy sauce, garlic, brown sugar, lemon juice, dijon mustard, thyme, salt, and black pepper in a pint-sized mason jar. Cover and shake well to combine. Use immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days before use.
• For the grilled chicken: Place the chicken in a zip-up gallon bag. Add all of the marinade, seal the bag, and refrigerate for 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours).
• Meanwhile, pre-heat one side of the grill to medium heat, around 350°, and leave the other side unlit. Oil the grill grates well.
• Remove the chicken from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Discard the remaining marinade. Place the chicken skin-side down over the lit side of the grill. Cover and cook until grill marks appear and the chicken easily releases, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Flip the chicken and transfer it to the unlit side of the grill. Cover and cook until the internal temperature reads 165˚, 35 to 45 minutes more (depending on the size of your chicken pieces). Let rest for 5 minutes, then serve immediately.
