The Only Chicken Marinade You Need! If you only ever memorize one grilled chicken marinade, make it this one.♡ I’ve tried a lot of chicken marinades over the years — the overly complicated ones with 15 ingredients, the bottled stuff from the store, the “just olive oil and salt” approach that never quite cuts it — and this one is hands-down my favorite.It takes 2 minutes to make, works with any cut of chicken, and most importantly, it makes each bite taste SO FLAVORFUL.

The best part? It’s incredibly versatile.The savory, slightly smoky, lemony seasoning plays well with pretty much any cuisine, so you can slice the chicken over a salad, tuck it into tacos, pile it on a grain bowl, stuff it in a wrap — honestly, you can’t go wrong.Once you try it, I have a feeling this’ll become your go-to marinade for grilled chicken too! Recipe Tips A few things I’ve learned along the way that will make this turn out perfectly every time: Pound your chicken breasts.

If you’re using breasts, take the extra two minutes to pound them to an even thickness.Uneven chicken is the number one reason you end up with dried-out edges and an undercooked center.Don’t skimp on marinating time.

I recommend thirty minutes as a minimum, but if you have the time, closer to two hours makes a real difference.The soy sauce is essential.It adds this savory, umami depth that makes the marinade taste way more complex than it actually is.
