Grilled Chicken

It's summer time, and that can't happen without grilled chicken! My husband and I hosted a work party at our house and used our "go-to" marinade recipe for 25 lbs. of chicken (breasts & thighs). It always creates juicy, tender chicken that tastes good with practically any side dish! Many people complimented Ben on his grilling techniques for making such fine chicken, but I knew that it was all thanks to the marinade. :) (...But he is a pretty good with his grill.)

Marinade for Chicken
1/4 cup and 2 tbsp. vegetable oil
3 tbsp. soy sauce
2 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
2 tbsp. red wine vinegar
1 tbsp. and 1 tsp. lemon juice
1-1/2 tsp. dry mustard
1/4 tsp. salt
3/4 tsp. black pepper
1/4 tsp. finely minced fresh parsley (I typically do more)

In a small bowl, mix together oil, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar and lemon juice. Stir in dry mustard, salt, pepper, and parsley. Use to marinade chicken--the longer you marinade, the more flavor it will have. This amount serves about 6-8. Happy grilling!
