For years we used Dale’s Steak Seasoning and then switched to Moore’s Original Marinade for the lower sodium content. I would mix those marinades with bottled Italian dressing and just go with it. Why not make a homemade version, right? Please don’t let the ingredient list frighten you away. I PROMISE this is the best marinade you will ever try and it’s super easy.

It is 100 times better than any store-bought kind.This best chicken marinade imparts the ultimate flavor experience and produces a juicy tender piece of grilled chicken.

You can also pound the chicken breasts out to an even thickness.Marinade Liquids– Worcestershire sauce, low-sodium soy sauce, olive oil, molasses, and white wine vinegar.Seasonings – Garlic powder, onion powder, fresh ground pepper, dried thyme, dried basil, dried parsley, and dried oregano. Salt to your taste, there is sodium in the Worcestershire and soy sauce.

We grill year-round and this chicken was planned for our lunches. Every week I make a large salad to keep in the fridge. It’s lunch for me most days. But my husband has to be coaxed to eat salad on a regular basis. Well, this week he actually asked for salads with grilled chicken for his lunches. (We’ll see how long this lasts.)

How to Make Best Ever Grilled Chicken Marinade

Just whisk the healthy chicken marinade ingredients together in a small bowl. Pour over the chicken (usually about 2 1/2 to 3 pounds of chicken) and marinate for a minimum of 1 hour. We usually go for 3-4 hours of marinating the chicken. This infuses more marinade flavor and allows for more grilled crispiness (my favorite part) on the chicken pieces. Reserve some of the marinade in a separate bowl to baste the chicken while grilling. Grill the chicken for 3-6 minutes per side. This will depend on the thickness of the chicken. Do NOT overcook! Use a meat thermometer to cook to an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. No one likes dry chicken. Serve and enjoy! This marinade also works great for pork too.
