Love this recipe. I make a big batch of the marinade when I'm going shopping then I add my chicken and freeze it. When the day comes that I want to grill the chicken, I simply defrost and grill the chicken. We really love it when the chicken gets a long soak in this marinade.

This is an excellent recipe. I have tried with fresh and dried herbs, and the flavor is great either way. Chicken can be bland and dry sometimes, but this recipe takes care of both of those problems. Thanks for posting.

I used dry oregano and thyme. That's the only change I made. It was delicious. Thanks Redsie. Made for Newest Zaar Tag.
