Finally it´s summer! And I don’t know about you, but we have couple of friends coming over for barbecues during the summer. We basically try to use the grill as much as possible. I love anything that is done on the grill as it tastes much better than any other cooked food. Agree?

I believe everyone likes chicken, and it’s pretty easy to prepare on the grill if you’ve got an easy-to-make marinade. But the marinade is really the trick here! It gotta be a very good and tasty marinade so that you have an absolutely delicious grilled meat on your plate.

I piled up my 10 favourite Chicken Marinade Recipes I think you´ll absolutely love. Each recipe has got preparation time, marinate time and serving information as well as ingredients. You just mix all ingredients each recipe has and marinate your chicken according to designated marinate time.
