Description

A flavorful chicken marinade that enhances taste and tenderness, perfect for grilling or baking.


Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme, or parsley)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika


Instructions

  1. Combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, fresh herbs, salt, black pepper, and paprika in a bowl.
  2. Place the chicken in a resealable bag or a dish, pour marinade over it, and ensure it’s coated.
  3. Seal the bag or cover the dish, marinating in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 24 hours.
  4. Preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat or 375°F (190°C).
  5. Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting excess drip off, and cook until fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F/75°C).

Notes

Fresh herbs are preferred for vibrant flavor; dried herbs can be used in half the quantity. Lime juice can substitute lemon juice for a zesty kick.
