Greek Chicken Marinade Recipe

Step 1

Set aide enough time for the chicken to marinade. Marinading chicken will take at least 2 hours or up to 12 hours.

Step 2

Combine all ingredients in a jar, close the lid tight, and shake it like Ricky Martin just came on the radio.

Step 3

Place chicken in a large zip-lock bag and pour the marinade all into the bag.

Step 4

Close the bag, letting all the air out, and lay the bag down either in a large plate or a sheet pan. Place the pan in the refrigerator and let it marinade.

Step 5

Start the coals about 20 minutes before ready to cook the chicken and make sure to pre-heat the grill first.

Step 6

Brush the grill grate with some oil to grease it and place chicken on the grill. Close the lid and cook for about 5-6 minutes. Open the lid and use metal tongues to flip the chicken. Close the lid and cook for another 5-6 minutes.

Step 7

Exact time for cooking the chicken will depend on the size of the thighs so use a meat thermometer to take internal temperature. Chicken is cooked when the thermometer reads 165° in the thickest part of the meat.
