Notes

  • Tip 1: You can use this marinade on any cut of chicken you prefer – chicken tenders, chicken breasts, chicken thighs, or chicken legs.
  • Tip 2: We like to let the chicken marinate overnight to achieve maximum flavor.
  • Tip 3: If you don’t have that much time, let the chicken marinate as long as possible.
  • Tip 4: No grill? No problem! You can cook the chicken inside.
  • Tip 5: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.
