Best Grilled Chicken
It doesn’t get much better than this simple, all-time best grilled chicken marinade recipe for perfectly juicy and flavorful grilled chicken breast or chicken thighs every single time!
Servings:4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts , feel free to sub chicken thighs
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 4 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar, or honey
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon Italian blend herbs , or Herbs de Provence
- pinch of red pepper flakes, optional
Instructions
- Stir together oil, vinegar, sugar, soy sauce, garlic, dried herbs and red pepper flakes.
- Pour into a large ziploc bag along with the chicken, press the excess air out of the bag, seal, and chill for 30 minutes.
- Use tongs to transfer the chicken to a preheated grill or grill pan on the stove. Discard marinade. Cook chicken for 6-10 minutes on each side (depending on thickness) over medium heat until cooked through ( juices should run clear when you cut into the thickest part of the chicken). Serve immediately.
Notes
- Chicken should be marinated for a minimum of 30 minutes, but will develop deeper flavor if marinated up to 8 hours or overnight.
- To reheat this chicken, cut into bite-size pieces and microwave on a plate with a wet paper towel or an up-turned tupperware container over the top to keep all that juicy moisture in.
