Description

A simple yet flavorful marinade that transforms chicken into a tender and juicy masterpiece with the bright notes of lemon and garlic.


Ingredients

  • Chicken (breasts or thighs)
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 3-4 cloves of garlic, minced
  • A mix of fresh herbs (thyme, rosemary, or parsley)


Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine the lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, and your choice of herbs.
  2. Place the chicken in a resealable bag or bowl and pour the marinade over it, ensuring the chicken is well-coated.
  3. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 24 hours in the refrigerator.
  4. Grill, bake, or freeze the marinated chicken as desired.

Notes

For best results, use fresh herbs. Aim for a minimum of 30 minutes marinating time, but overnight yields more flavor. Adjust marinating time to prevent overly acidic chicken.
