Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.25 cups Lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 0.25 cups Olive oil
- 2 units Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper, freshly ground
- 4 units Chicken breasts or thighs (boneless and skinless)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Place the chicken breasts or thighs in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish.
Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is fully coated.
Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours for deeper flavor. Turn the chicken occasionally to ensure even marination.
Once marinated, remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the remaining liquid.
Cook the chicken using your preferred method: grilling, baking, or pan-searing, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Serve the chicken hot and enjoy its tangy, savory flavors.
