Made this marinade as is today for grilled chicken kebabs. I marinated the chicken for about 8- 9 hours. So tender and juicy!  Used cilantro for garnish.. delicious!

Tried this recipe out and was surprised I had all the ingredients. I put it in a charcoal pan on top of the stove with a tiny bit of olive oil, then finished cooking in the oven. The chicken was so moist with lots of wonderful flavor. I can't wait to try it again on my charcoal grill (outside)!

Soooooo good, this marinade is amazing. Would like to try on veggies, have only done chicken so far. The flavor is fantastic. Thanks for the recipe, will be a staple for meal prep.

This was a hit with the family tonight ! Super easy marinade and let the chicken breasts marinade overnight. Definitely a staple at my house now !

I tried the marinate yesterday, and my family loved it! We marinated boneless/skinless chicken thighs and it tasted great. We made a Greek salad and roasted potatoes to go with it. This is going to be a mainstay for us. Delicious!

This is my FAVORITE marinade of Jess’ series but let’s be real, all of them are absolutely delicious. You cannot go wrong with this marinade. My family stated it’s better than any restaurant and we prepare it at least twice a month. I love Jess, her recipes, her morals, EVERYTHING!

I have made this marinade over chicken thighs several times for my family and it's one of our favorits. The lemon flavor is really good.

My family and I loved this marinade! So flavorful and easy to make.  This will be a repeat recipe for sure!
