Grilled Chicken, But Actually Good

My Favorite Marinade

For grilled chicken that actually tastes good.

Joe and I have been trying to up our protein lately, which means I’ve been making a lot of chicken. This is the one recipe we keep coming back to.

It makes a big batch, which is key. We grill it for dinner (usually with a quick salad or roasted veggies), then use the leftovers for lunches all week - sliced into grain bowls, stuffed in wraps, or just eaten cold out of the fridge if I’m being honest.

The marinade’s tangy and a little sweet, and it caramelizes beautifully on the grill. It’s best if you let it sit overnight, but even 2 hours is enough if you're short on time. Don’t want to grill? It also works great in the oven or air fryer.

Want to make it extra special? Take the leftover marinade and pour it into a small saucepan. Bring it to a boil and let it bubble away for at least 5 minutes (this step is important because it makes it safe to eat). The result? A glossy, flavor-packed sauce you can drizzle over the cooked chicken or spoon onto whatever you're serving with it.

What I Actually Bring to a Cookout Because you can do better than a bag of chips. BAILEY SISSOM May 29, 2025 Hi friends, When someone says “just bring a side,” this is what I show up with. These are the recipes I default to again and again, not because they’re flashy, but because they’re good. They hold up on a picnic table, can be made ahead, and don’t require any last-minute oven space or garnishing with fresh herbs you don’t have.
