Ingredients in Homemade Italian Marinade

  • Oil – Olive oil is light and adds an earthy flavor. You can use other flavored oils like chili or basil.
  • Acid Red wine vinegar & lemon juice is my first choice, but sub in balsamic or white wine vinegar.
  • Flavor Dijon, garlic, and Italian seasoning add lots of flavor.
  • Sweetness – Honey adds sweetness and helps with caramelization. You can replace it with brown sugar.

Tips for Marinating Chicken

  • Do not over-marinate chicken, as it will become mushy from the acids breaking down the meat.
  • Cook chicken to 165°F whether it’s grilled, baked, broiled, or cooked on the stovetop.
  • Keep leftover unused marinade in a jar with a tight-fitting lid in the refrigerator and use within 4 days for the best flavor.
  • Freeze leftover marinade in ice cube trays, pop one or two out, and add to veggies or pasta!
