  • Marinate chicken for 30-60 minutes in the fridge and then cook as desired.

Notes

Yield: This makes enough marinade for 1 pound of chicken.
  • This marinade works great with any cut of chicken, including boneless/bone-in chicken breasts, thighs, or drumsticks.
  • If you marinate the chicken for more than 4 hours, the texture of your chicken will become undesirable. Any longer, and the acid will start "cooking" the chicken instead of flavoring it.
  • It's important to note that you should not save any leftover marinade that's already been used. The raw chicken has contaminated the mixture, and you will need to throw it away.
Cooking Instructions:
  • Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high (375-450°F) and grill 8-10 minutes per side, or until 165°F.
  • Bake: Preheat your oven to 450°F and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until 165°F. This marinade works great on my Baked Lemon Pepper Chicken!
  • Air Fry: Preheat your air fryer to 380°F and cook for 16-18 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Storage: Store balsamic chicken marinade in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
