A few summers ago, a friend had us over for dinner and made the best grilled chicken. I made sure to not leave without getting her recipe! This marinade makes the perfect chicken for a get together, or a family meal.

Ingredients

There are 7 ingredients in this Beer and Honey Marinade:

  • Minced garlic
  • Beer (any left over in the fridge will do, but I prefer it with a light beer)
  • Honey
  • Soy Sauce
  • Red peper flakes
  • Dijon Mustard
  • Olive Oil

Coming Together

I used a large glass bowl with a lid, this way I can mix together the marinade and you don’t need to use a different container when you add the chicken.

Just mix together all of the ingredients into the bowl first.

This recipe is enough to cover 1-1.5 pounds of chicken. You can place full chicken breasts into the marinade, or cut the chicken into pieces. I personally like to cut the chicken first, as the marinade seems to cover the chicken better that way.

You can let the chicken marinate for a few hours or over night.

Then all you need to do, is grill them!

Enjoy

Pair this chicken with an orzo salad, or a baked potato.

Finish off this summer time meal in the most perfect way, with a slice of Strawberry Pretzel Pie.
