My Favorite Chicken Marinade

July 17, 2026 / Jenny / 0 Comments

I love to try new recipes, but there are certain ones I keep coming back to time and time again. This chicken marinade recipe finds a beautiful balance between savory, sweet, and citrus. The combination of ingredients not only infuses the outer layer of the chicken with delicious flavor, but it also helps tenderize the meat and allows it to retain more of its natural juices.

With just a few key components, you can add that extra tang and zing to your chicken. Staples like freshly squeezed lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, extra-virgin olive oil, brown sugar, and a few other seasonings all come together to create a deeply flavorful end result.
