Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Olive oil

- 0.25 cup Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 3 minced Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, and lemon juice until well combined.
Add the honey and Dijon mustard, and whisk again until the mixture is smooth and cohesive.
Stir in the minced garlic, rosemary, paprika, black pepper, and salt, ensuring all the seasonings are evenly distributed.
Place the chicken (approximately 4 servings, such as 4 chicken breasts or thighs) into a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish.
Pour the marinade over the chicken, making sure all pieces are fully coated.
Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 8 hours for maximum flavor infusion.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and cook as desired: bake, grill, or pan-sear until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Discard any leftover marinade that came into contact with raw chicken. Serve your marinated chicken hot and enjoy!
