How to Make Finger Licking Chicken Marinade

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the Miracle Whip (or mayonnaise), lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt until well combined.
  2. Add the chicken pieces to a resealable bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated.
  3. Marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator for optimal flavor. For even better results, marinate for up to 4 hours or overnight.
  4. Preheat your grill, oven, or prepare your skillet for cooking.
  5. Grill, bake, or pan-fry the chicken until cooked through, basting occasionally with the remaining marinade. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C). Approximate cooking time will vary depending on the cooking method and thickness of the chicken pieces.
  6. Serve immediately and enjoy your finger-licking good chicken!
