This is the BEST marinade EVER – super easy and packed with flavor!
It might be cold outside, but that never stops us from using the grill. After learning a few helpful grilling tips, my fear of the flame fizzled, and this recipe has become my go-to marinade for chicken and beef {think flank steak…unbelievable!}. It’s truly the best marinade ever.
I love it because it tastes AMAZING and even better, the recipe uses staple ingredients that I always have on hand.
Be sure to let things marinate for at least 4-6 hours or best overnight. This gives it time for the flavors to meld.
This recipe makes a lot of marinade, so I only use half, and then freeze the rest. Easy peazy!
It’s honesty the best marinade ever! You’ve got to give it a try.

Noting beats a great marinade. We also have a couple we love to use….great with so many proteins.
You’re right Gloria! I love putting this chicken on top of a salad. Perfect for lunch.
Oh my this sounds like a delicious marinade. I like things I can prepare in advance and get better with time.
I shared this other great time saver you might enjoy…put your left over marinade in a freezer bag along with your chicken and freeze. The chicken will marinate as it thaws in the fridge. Win-Win!
Now I am hungry and want to grill! This looks so good!
Thanks Emily!
Marinating meat is really a must-do for cooking and grilling. It adds so much flavor to the meat. Thanks for your marinade recipe. I’m pinning it to try.
You’re right! And marinating can really help tenderize those less expensive traditionally tougher cuts of beef. Hope you enjoy!
Your pictures are incredible. And my mouth is definitely watering for chicken in that marinade!
Thanks Tamara

Thanks Milena!
That sounds delicious. I am going to have to give this a try! Yummy!
You will be so glad you gave it a try. Enjoy!
This sounds great! I bet it would go good on ribs too on the BBQ!
Thanks!
I love a good marinade especially on BBQ because it really heightens the overall flavor of the meat. I can’t wait for the weather to warm up so I can start grilling again.
We use this marinade so many ways. Here’s another tip. Put the left over marinade in a freezer bag along with your chicken and freeze. Then take the frozen bag out of the freezer the night before and place it in the fridge. The chicken will marinate while it thaws. Great time saver!
The right marinade can take a meal from okay to delicious. This marinade looks wonderful.
Thanks Janeane. Hope you enjoy it!
