As we head into fall and ease back into the routine of school and work I thought we should talk about some of the best chicken marinade recipes!

You can make most of these easy chicken marinade recipes ahead of time – one of my fave ever meal prep tricks is to freeze your chicken breasts in the marinade itself so all you have to do is pull them out of the freezer, then grill or bake. Your choice!

How to Make an Easy Chicken Marinade

Making an easy chicken marinade is as simple as whisking together a few simple ingredients for the chicken to sit in for a few hours. Marinating chicken allows the meat to tenderize and to soak up the flavours of the marinade. A basic 4 ingredient chicken marinade usually includes:

oil
vinegar
soy sauce
sweetener

You can use that simple marinade alone, or add additional herbs and spices to create more depth of flavour. Let your creativity shine and your taste buds lead the way.
