*The Best Grilled Chicken Marinade

Ingredients

• ½ cup olive oil
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
• ½ teaspoon paprika
• ½ teaspoon cumin
• ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 2 cloves garlic, chopped
• 3 tablespoons chopped onion
• ½ cup chopped fresh parsley
• 1½ cups beer

Instructions

1. Pour olive oil into a 2-cup liquid measuring cup.
2. Mix together salt, pepper, paprika, cumin, and cayenne pepper and add to olive oil.
3. Add garlic, onions, and parsley.
4. Mix together well with a fork.
5. Slowly add beer as it will cause the mixture to foam and bubble slightly.
6. Pour marinade over the chicken in the zip top bag.
7. Remove as much air as possible from the bag and seal.
8. Turn the bag from side to side to make sure all chicken has been coated with the marinade.
9. Place the bag flat on a small, rimmed kitchen sheet pan and into the refrigerator.
10. Allow to sit up to 1 hour or overnight for best results, turning the bag over every few hours to keep the chicken coated.

Notes

• Marinade works best for about 5 pounds of chicken.
• If you prefer not to use beer, you can replace with apple cider or ginger ale.
