Fantastic!! I made this a few times already. The first time I only let the chicken marinade for a few hours. The next two times I prepared it in the morning and let it marinade all day. Soooo moist and tender. It was good both ways but the longer you can marinade your chicken the better. I did scale the recipe back a bit since it makes quite alot.This is my new standard way of doing chicken on the grill. Thanks so much for sharing!!

My family loved this marinade on boneless chicken breast. I used 6 large peices and cut the recipe in half using the conversion chart. I used olive oil instead of vegetable oil and only had half the amount of soy sauce so I used 1/2 soy and 1/2 teriaki sauce and just a dash of salt. I also baked mine in the oven on 375 for 40 minutes instead of dragging out the grill:o) Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe.

I have to put my two cents in on this marinade. Oh my gosh, I love it!!! I have used it on chicken, pork and beef. It not only tenderizes, but gives great flavor. A nice change from barbeque sauce. The recipe does make a large amount, but I now keep it in a bottle in the fridge to have on hand for whenever I want to marinate something. I was a bit skeptical, but after trying it, I'm sold. My husband loves it (as do I). Thanks Jill, for this fabulous recipe. I wish I could give it more stars!

I scaled this down to 12 servings for three boneless chicken breasts. I used olive oil vs. vegetable oil. I always use low sodium soy sauce and I didn't have fresh parsley so I used dried. I made this in the morning and let it marinate all day. The chicken was very tender and full of flavor. This would be great for kabobs!

We used this for steak and it was AWESOME! We tried one batch exactly as the recipe stated and for the second batch, we added 1/2 bottle of Italian dressing and 1 Tbsp. liquid smoke. The steaks were delicious and very tender. This recipe is a keeper at our house! Thanks!

This is the best chicken marinade ever, even my very picky daughter said "don't loose this one mom". I did not add the salt either as some reviewers suggested. The soy sauce made it salty enough.

Very easy. Very yummy. Marinaded the chicken boobs overnight and then barbecued them. Had company over and got rave reviews. Will make again.

This is a great marinade. The chicken turned out tender, juicy, and scrumptious!!! Will definitely use again!

Here's the deal. I made this exactly according to the recipe, no modifications. Just happened to have everything it called for on hand (I couldn't believe it, either - that never happens). The first night, we only let the chicken breast marinate for 1 hour before baking it (375 for about 40-45 min). Comparing it to recent chicken I've cooked, it was very much juicier, and tasty. HOWEVER. I then used the rest of the leftover marinade (it makes a lot) to soak some more chicken in, overnight in the fridge. Cooked it up for dinner tonight and it was RIDICULOUSLY juicy and delicious, and the flavors of the marinade had blended better. 3-4 stars for the one-hour marination, 5 stars for the overnight marination. We liked this one.

Very good marinade as written, sensational with the addition of garlic and brown sugar. I added 4 cloves of garlic, chopped, and 2 tablespoons of brown sugar. I also opted to use the zest of one lemon instead of the lemon juice. I never use the salt and find that the soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce provide enough for our taste. This time, I used chicken thighs and let them marinate over night before putting them on the grill. I set the grill up for indirect grilling, browned the skin over the coals and then moved them over to the cooler side to finish cooking. The flavor of the marinade was down to the bone! I've used this for awhile and have since cut the oil in the recipe down to 1/2 cup and added other items in my own custom version.

This recipe for marinade is now the only one I use. It is Great! I don't use the oil, you don't need it. I also try to marinate the chicken as long as possible. We make chicken A LOT! and this is priceless. I have grilled the chicken and baked it in the oven using this marinade - either way is great!

This marinade was awesome. Everyone raved about the chicken. I used a mixture of breasts and thighs.

Brined bone in chicken breasts and leg quarters overnight. Marinated them for 10 hours today before grilling. Did not add any sauce when grilling and it was very tasty. Thanks for a good recipe.

Ummmm, NO....Sorry, did this exactly as shown on the recipe. I make marinades all the time. This was way too salty and way too much Worst sauce. Sure citrus is going to make the meat tender and juicy, but I didnt like it at all. Red wine vinegar??? Apple cider vinegar would have been better. Im surprised at the great reviews. Made this for the first time and took to friends house, they were polite but we all had the same reaction. Sorry.

Have used this marinade several times and the chicken always comes out tender and full of flavor. I sometimes add fresh garlic. I cook mine on an indoor grill pan. Delicious!

I never leave reviews because I usually alter the recipes I find so significantly, it would be easier to just add a new recipe. That was not the case here!! I was looking for an alternative to my sweeter marinade I usually make and this is hands down, one of my favorite recipes so far. I halfed the recipe as it does make a lot. I used olive oil instead of vegetable and less than called for. I omitted the extra salt and added onion powder and garlic powder (maybe 1 1/2 tsp of each) and marinated overnight. Awesome on the grill!

AWESOME! Tastes almost just like chicken BBQ chicken! I made as is, minus black pepper and I realized as the marinade was almost complete I was out of parsley. I also decreased the oil a little to trim some fat. This is def a repeater at the LTH house! Thanks for a fabulous recipe!!
