Notes
Here are some helpful tips to create the perfect Greek Chicken Marinade:
Use Fresh Ingredients: Opt for fresh minced garlic, lemon juice, zest, and herbs to maximize flavor.
Vinegar Option: Substitute red wine vinegar for lemon juice and zest for a tangier taste.
Marinating Time: Soak the chicken for at least 30 minutes. For deeper flavor, marinate overnight.
Handling Leftover Marinade: Don't reuse marinade that's touched raw meat. If you must reuse it, boil it thoroughly before applying it to cooked chicken.
Flavor Experimentation: Customize your marinade with additions like Dijon mustard, honey, or Greek yogurt for a personal touch.
