Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp dried oregano

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together orange juice, lemon juice, lime juice, and minced garlic for 30 seconds.
  2. Add olive oil, salt, and oregano; whisk for another 30 seconds until the marinade is glossy and well blended.
  3. Place up to 2 lbs chicken in a zip-top bag or shallow dish, pour the marinade over, seal, and massage for 1 minute. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes, up to 4 hours, then remove the chicken, pat it dry, and cook as you like.

Notes

Boneless chicken breasts need no more than 2 hours in this marinade; bone-in pieces can go up to 4. Let the marinated chicken sit at room temperature while you preheat the grill or pan so it cooks more evenly.
