Garlic and Oregano Marinade for Chicken

     This is the recipe from my BBQ oh so long ago. I finally got it typed up. A delicious marinade that makes use of the fresh oregano I have growing in the garden.

Garlic and Oregano Marinade for Chicken

Ingredients

¼ cup olive oil

½ cup garlic, chopped or minced

½ cup fresh oregano, chopped

1 tablespoon red wine or balsamic vinegar

Juice of a lime*

Juice of an orange*

1 tablespoon honey or to taste

1 teaspoon chili powder – adjust to taste or use your favourite hot spice

* To maximize the citrus taste you can add ½ teaspoon of zest from one or both

Directions

In a large mixing bowl combine and whisk all ingredients until well mixed.

Coat chicken and let sit at least 8 hours or overnight, refrigerated.

Turn chicken pieces occasionally to maximize marinating.

     I used this on chicken I had cubed to put on skewers but would work equally well for whole pieces.

Happy grilling.
