Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Soy sauce
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 pounds Chicken (breasts, thighs, drumsticks, or wings)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, olive oil, honey, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, paprika, black pepper, salt, and lemon juice. Whisk until all the ingredients are thoroughly blended.
Step 2
Place your chicken in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring every piece is evenly coated.
Step 3
Seal the bag or cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap. Refrigerate the chicken and allow it to marinate for at least 2 hours, ideally overnight, to infuse the flavors.
Step 4
Remove the chicken from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before cooking to allow it to come to room temperature. This ensures even cooking.
Step 5
Cook the chicken using your preferred method—grilling, baking, or pan-frying—until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
Step 6
Serve hot and enjoy your flavorful, tender chicken!
