How to Make Aunt Brendas Chicken Marinade
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, soy sauce, garlic, brown sugar, paprika, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Pierce four (6-ounce) chicken breasts several times with a fork to allow for better marinade absorption.
- Place the chicken breasts in a resealable gallon-sized zip-top bag.
- Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are coated.
- Seal the bag, removing excess air. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, flipping the bag halfway through to ensure even marinating.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) or prepare your grill for medium heat.
- **For Baking:** Place the marinated chicken breasts in a baking dish and bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- **For Grilling:** Grill the chicken for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
