4 Ingredient Chicken Marinade

Whether you have guests coming over or just need an easy weeknight dinner, this quick and simple marinade can be made ahead of time so the chicken will be ready whenever it's time to fire up the grill! The end result is a sweet, crispy glaze on the outside and moist, tender meat on the inside. Perfect every time!


4 Ingredient Chicken Marinade
Yield: about 2 cups

Ingredients
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 cup coconut aminos, gluten free soy sauce, or gluten free tamari

Directions
  1. Mix marinade ingredients in gallon-size ziplock bag.
  2. Place 6-8 boneless, skinless chicken breasts in marinade; seal bag shut.
  3. To prevent leaks, place filled bag inside second gallon-size ziplock bag. Set bagged chicken in rimmed baking dish.
  4. Refrigerate chicken for at least an hour, or overnight. (Longer is better because it means more flavor!) Periodically turn bag in dish to evenly disperse marinade.
  5. Grill chicken until internal temperature reads 165°F with digital meat thermometer. Let chicken rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
