One of my all-time favorite chicken marinades! I’ve posted this marinade before in a full dinner recipe but I figured it needed its own post because it’s that good. It’s tangy, savory, slightly sweet, and packed with so much flavor. It comes together in just a few minutes and makes the juiciest grilled chicken—perfect for an easy dinner or meal prep throughout the week.

FAVORITE CHICKEN MARINADE

• 1–2 tablespoons olive oil
• ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
• 6 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 2 teaspoons cumin
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Whisk all the ingredients together and pour over approximately 2 pounds of chicken. I usually do thighs and/or tenderloin/ Marinate for at least 2 hours or up to 8hours, then grill until the chicken is cooked through.
