Finger-Licking Chicken Marinade

This was a big hit in my family. Left it on the marinade for a few hours until we were ready put them over the coals. Once I started basting them with this oil based marinade I moved them to an indirect heat to keep it from flaring. Plenty of flavor without overpowering the chicken. Great stuff!

Yummm!! This stuff is great! I have made several times now and have used fresh minced garlic instead of the garlic salt. I also use Best Foods (Hellman's) mayo as I don't have Miracle Whip. One time I added about 1 tablespoon of dijon mustard (Gulden's) and it was over the top fantastic! I always marinade my foods in a large freezer baggie, so much easier that way, just turn it over every 15 minutes or so. Thanks for posting, echo.

just tried this and, omg, it was amazing! I used cider vinegar and added just about a teaspoon of chopped garlic to the mix. marinated for about four hours then threw it on the broiler. soooooooo tasty! I will be using this one all summer on the grill!

I mixed it all up, had a hard time blending the mayonnaise into the liquid, tasted it, and despite all the flavors it only tasted like olive oil with a kick of vinegar. Like one of the other reviewers said, I was quite disappointed at the beginning, but had no alternative but to put it on the chicken. Like some of the other reviewers I added a bit of dijon to the marinade.

To my delight, the chicken was juicy and tender! Just sitting in the fridge the consistency changed and there weren't isolated chunks of mayonnaise floating through the oil. However, I still think this marinade has a DISPROPORTIONATE amount of olive oil. If I make this again, I am making it with 1/2 or 3/4 c instead. With all of the wonderful flavor in here, I'm surprised they didn't have more punch. The predominant flavors were olive oil and lemon. Also, since "2 cups" isn't exactly a usuable measurement, I used about 1 cup of this marinade for 4 thinly sliced boneless chicken breasts and they were well covered. So be sure it scale it down if you're not cooking for a party!

I'm glad I saw this listed in the "favorite five recipes" thread. This really tasted like a "bistro-style" chicken. The thyme really makes it. I used a white balsamic vinegar. I halved the recipe and used 4 medium chicken breasts and seared in butter and then finished baking for about 20 minutes. This is one of my favorite chicken recipes ever. Served with smashers and salad with feta and balsamic dressing.Thanks Echo, Echo! Roxygirl Roxygirl

This is probably the best marinade I have ever had. The only change I made was to use 1 clove of fresh garlic instead of the garlic salt, but next time I will use both or more fresh. Very tasty and moist chicken. Will definitely be added to my best recipes file. Thanks so much for sharing this super recipe!

Amazingly good. I was a short on thyme, so I added Majoram to make up for the difference. It was very good. The second time, I had all the thyme - but I forgot the MAYO - oops! . . not as good, so don't forget the mayo, and try Majoram...

Oh so good. I used legs and thighs and it turned out fantastic. I roasted them in the oven, but next time I want to grill them.....yummy. The marinade made the chicken so flavorful and moist. Thank you so much for sharing this with us.

I don't think I can say anything that everyone hasn't already covered. I made this just as stated. I halved the recipe, let it sit for nearly 2 hours. My son grilled the chicken. It is fabolous!! I can't wait to make this again. Great flavor! Thanks for sharing!!

Very Good! Thank you for posting! I've made this twice, and for me it worked better when I marinaded it for 8 hours vs. 24. I think the ingredients kind of "burn" the chicken if you leave it on for too long. Just makes it even better for those week night meals. Thank you for posting. My DH and I enjoyed this very much!

Simple and tastes great! I had mine over a salad, and my husband had his in a pita and we both really enjoyed it.
