    It is grilling season and we are thankful! Fire up that grill and make delicious recipes like Grilled Pizza, Bacon Brussels Sprouts and this EASY grilled chicken marinade. You will love the simplicity and the taste. Chicken is a favorite around here and let's be honest, it is rather inexpensive to feed a hungry crew. So it is a win-win for both the family and the pocketbook.

    So, what are your favorite recipes to have on the grill? I have a variety of sides I enjoy eating with grilled recipes, such as tortellini salad, best baked beans and Fried Parmesan Corn. Like chicken recipes? Honey Glazed Chicken is great as well!

    Gas Grill or Charcoal Grill

    To grill is so easy! We personally like a charcoal grill over a gas grill. It takes longer to get the grill ready, but the flavor is so delicious. The gas grill is the push of a button. It uses mostly propane though some are natural gas and clean up of the grill is rather easy.

    The charcoal grill takes longer to start up and clean up does take longer. You need to decide which grill is best for you and give it a try. It has a classic flavor that adds to grilled items.

    EASY Grilled Chicken Marinade

    Honestly, I don't marinade things often, as I feel I don't have the time. But really, it only takes 5 minutes. Planning ahead is so worth it.

    Tips for grilling chicken

    • Stick the chicken in a 9x13 pan or in a Ziplock bag for the chicken to soak up the juices of the marinade.
    • Plan ahead! Make a menu plan, it helps to not have surprises the night you what to make the supper.
    • Keep an eye on the chicken that is on the grill. Make sure the chicken doesn't burn by checking the underside. However, wait at least 5 minutes before checking!
    • Make sure the chicken is fully cooked. No one wants food poisoning. The internal temperature of a cooked chicken breast should be 165 degrees Fahrenheit. The juices of the chicken should run clear as well.
