How to Make Amerigo's Chicken Tuscany

  1. **Make the Marinade:** In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, 1 teaspoon black peppercorns, 1 teaspoon celery salt, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, and a dash of Tabasco sauce.
