Equipment

Ingredients

  • ½ cup canola oil or olive oil
  • ¾ cup lemon juice
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 2 Tbsp dried Thyme
  • 1 Tbsp dried Rosemary
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp pepper
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 4 -8 chicken breasts I prefer chicken tenders and use about 18

Instructions

  • Combine all ingredients except the chicken together in a bowl and whisk to combine. Alternatively, you can place the marinade in the blender and blend well if you don't like the large pieces of herbs.
  • Pour over chicken and marinate for 4-8 hours. I like to place it all in a gallon-sized Ziploc bag.
  • Cook on the grill until the chicken is done.
