Prep : 10 Total : 25 minutes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 0.5 cup Balsamic Vinegar
  • 0.25 cup Olive Oil
  • 2 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
  • 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
  • Place the chicken pieces in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are coated.
  • Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours. For longer marination, consider using a less acidic liquid or reducing the marination time to prevent the chicken from becoming mushy.
  • Preheat your grill or oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Remove chicken from the marinade and discard the excess marinade. Grill or bake the chicken for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear.
  • Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

This marinade is versatile and can be used for chicken thighs or breasts. Adjust marination time based on your preference and chicken cut.
