Recipe video above. This is a great everyday Chicken Marinade, one you make with things you've already got with plenty of sub options (see notes). It will make any cut of chicken extra juicy, infuse it with savoury flavour that's a touch of sweet, with a hint of herby goodness. Especially good for chicken breast, and terrific for grilling!
