Notes

  • Keep fresh marinade in a jar with a tight-fitting lid for a few days.
  • This is enough marinade for up to 2lbs of chicken, the recipe can be doubled.
  • You can use this on bone-in or boneless chicken breasts or chicken thighs.
  • Marinate in a bowl, freezer bag, or baking dish. Do not marinate in a metal bowl or container.
  • If you have extra (unused marinade!), add a little to veggies before grilling or your other favorite side dishes for a punch of flavor.
  • Nutrition information is an estimate for 1 tablespoon of the marinade as most of the marinade will be discarded.
  • Nutrition information does not include chicken as this can be used on bone in or boneless chicken with or without skin.
