A vibrant and flavorful marinade perfect for enhancing the taste of grilled or baked chicken.
Juice the lemon into a mixing bowl.
Rolling the lemon on the counter before juicing helps release more juice.
Add the olive oil, vinegar, cayenne pepper, garlic, paprika, and salt to the bowl.
Use freshly minced garlic for a more intense flavor.
Whisk the ingredients together until well combined.
Whisking thoroughly ensures the flavors are evenly distributed.
Brush the marinade onto the chicken, ensuring an even coating.
Marinate the chicken for at least 2 hours for the best flavor.
Grill the chicken over medium heat until fully cooked, turning occasionally.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Serve the grilled chicken with your favorite sides and enjoy.
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for added freshness.
