Citrus Chicken Marinade

Step 1

Measure the orange juice and olive oil into a large bowl or casserole dish using a liquid measuring cup. (You could also do this in a gallon-sized plastic bag with a zipper top.)

Step 2

Add the minced garlic, taco seasoning and salt to the marinade. Whisk to combine the ingredients.

Step 3

Place the chicken into the marinade. Make sure the chicken is immersed in the marinade.

Step 4

Cover the bowl or casserole dish with plastic wrap, and transfer to the fridge.

Step 5

Let the meat marinate for 1-2 hours. (Do not let it marinate for more than 3 hours. Otherwise, the texture of the chicken will become mushy.)

Step 6

When ready to use, remove the chicken from the marinade. Dispose of the marinade.

Step 7

Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel before seasoning with salt and pepper and cooking.
