My Favorite Grilled Chicken Marinade

1 c. olive oil
3/4 c. soy (or light soy)
1/2 c. red wine vinegar
1/2 c. Worcestershire sauce
1/2 c. pure maple syrup (can substitute brown sugar)
1/3 c. fresh lemon juice
2 T. minced garlic
3 t. salt
generous dash of pepper



1. Mix all of the ingredients together in a large dish. Submerge thawed chicken breast into the mixture, covering completely.

2. Marinade at least 4 hours in the refrigerator, rotating the chicken after 2 hours. Discard the marinade when ready to grill



The result is juicy, tasty chicken that is tender and delicious. I like to make up a big batch and use the leftovers for different recipes throughout the week. The marinade can be made a few days before using-keep refrigerated.
