Grilled Chicken Marinade Say goodbye to bland dinners! This grilled chicken marinade will become one of your new favorite recipes, because we all love our grilled chicken dinners. This marinated chicken is juicy, flavorful, and perfect for just about any occasion. The trick to making the best grilled chicken is knowing how to marinate chicken in the first place.
