How to Make Tangy Apple Thyme Marinade

In a medium-sized glass bowl, combine 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar, 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
Add 1.5 lbs of boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs to the marinade.
Gently toss the chicken to ensure it's fully coated in the marinade. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, for maximum flavor absorption.
Preheat your grill, broiler, or oven to the desired temperature. (Grill: medium-high heat; Broiler: high; Oven: 400°F/200°C)
Remove chicken from marinade and discard the marinade. Grill, broil, or bake the chicken until cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F/74°C). This will take approximately 10-15 minutes depending on your cooking method and thickness of the chicken.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious, tangy apple thyme chicken!
