Homemade Chicken Marinade
Do you typically buy marinades already made up at the grocery store? Don’t worry, if you answered
yes – I was the same way. One day while my mum and I were at the grocery store I was looking for
a marinade to use on chicken. While reading the nutritional facts and ingredients, I was completely
turned off. Summer is here, which means it’s grilling season and marinades are a critical part of the
grilling process. That being said I decided to try and whip up my own marinade and the results were
better than I thought they’d ever be. My dad even tried the chicken (and he is ridiculously picky) and
loved it. If you’re looking for a delicious marinade to get the juiciest most flavorful chicken, I highly
recommend the chicken marinade below.

2. Add chicken to the bag.

use apple cider vinegar.
