Chicken Marinade
Method
Marinating Chicken
- 1

Marinate the Chicken
Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.
Grilling or Blackening

Cook the Chicken
Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. For grilling, place chicken on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). For blackening, add a little oil to the skillet, then place the chicken in the pan and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, creating a blackened crust.

Rest and Serve
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve it with your favorite sides or on a salad.
