Description

This BBQ Chicken Marinade delivers an irresistible flavor profile thanks to its key ingredients: BBQ sauce, Italian dressing, and garlic. It’s easy to prepare, perfect for quick dinners, and ensures a juicy, flavorful chicken every time.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs chicken breast, boneless, skinless
  • 1/2 cup bbq sauce
  • 1/4 cup italian dressing
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 3 cloves garlic, pressed

Instructions

  1. Whisk together the BBQ sauce, Italian dressing, apple cider vinegar, and pressed garlic to create the marinade.
  2. Poke chicken all over with a fork, then place it in a dish or zip top bag and pour the marinade over the chicken, covering it completely.
  3. Refrigerate the chicken in the marinade for a minimum of 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours.
  4. Preheat the grill to medium heat and brush with oil to prevent sticking. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 4-6 minutes per side, until it reaches an internal temperature of 165˚F.
  5. Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving warm.

Notes

Marinating for longer intensifies the flavor, so consider marinating overnight.
Always check chicken with a thermometer to ensure it is fully cooked.
Any leftover marinade can be used as a sauce after boiling for safety.
