BALSAMIC CHICKEN MARINADE

Steps:

• Whisk the marinade ingredients together in a freezer bag or glass bowl. Add chicken and turn to coat. Marinate for 30 minutes at room temperature or refrigerate up to 12 hours (the longer the better).
• When ready to cook, remove chicken from the refrigerator and let rest 15-30 minutes before cooking.

BALSAMIC CHICKEN {EASY MARINADE}

Steps:

• Place chicken in a gallon size resealable bag (or you can use a bowl).
• In a mixing bowl whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.
• Pour marinade over chicken in bag (or bowl). Seal bag while pressing out excess air.
• Rub marinade over chicken (I also like to twist and tie top of bag so marinade fully covers the chicken).
• Let marinade in fridge for 2 to 8 hours for breasts and 2 to 24 hours for thighs.
• Heat over medium-high heat to 400 degrees. Partway through heating don't forget to clean and oil grill grates (with a little vegetable oil or olive oil using tongs and a balled up paper towel).
• Remove chicken from marinade while shaking excess marinade off back into bag. Transfer to grill and cook covered about 5 to 8 minutes per side.
• Cook time varies based on thickness, check internal temperature of chicken in thickest portion to 165 degrees for doneness.
• Garnish with parsley if desired. Serve warm.

GRILLED BALSAMIC CHICKEN MARINADE

Steps:

• In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the vinegar, oil, lemon juice, garlic and lemon-pepper; add chicken. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Drain and discard marinade. Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack. Grill, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 inches from the heat for 5-7 minutes on each side or until a meat thermometer reads 170°.

LEMON, ROSEMARY AND BALSAMIC GRILLED CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• In a medium bowl combine the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, rosemary, garlic, lemon zest and red pepper flakes. Whisk to combine and pour into a 1-gallon resealable food storage plastic bag. Put the chicken thighs in the bag and seal it. Turn to ensure that the chicken is evenly coated, then refrigerate, turning occasionally, for 2 to 4 hours.
• Preheat a grill to medium-low and brush the grates lightly with an oil soaked cloth. Remove the chicken from the marinade and pat dry. Season the chicken well on all sides with salt and pepper, then place on the grill, skin side down. Cook the chicken about 8 to 10 minutes, turn and continue to cook an additional 8 to 10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. Remove from the heat and serve while hot.
