No store-bought marinade needed! Just a few pantry staples and fresh herbs turn ordinary chicken into something everyone will be asking for. Perfect for your holiday barbecue! ❤️🤍💙

Southern Twist Sweet & Spicy Grilled Chicken Marinade

Ingredients

* ½ cup olive oil
* ⅓ cup soy sauce
* ¼ cup honey
* 1 tablespoon crunchy chili garlic sauce
* 1 teaspoon garlic powder
* 1 teaspoon onion powder
* ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (or more if you like extra heat)
* 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
* 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions

1. Whisk all ingredients together until the honey is fully incorporated.
2. Pour over 2–3 pounds of chicken (drumsticks, thighs, wings, or breasts).
3. Marinate for at least 4 hours, but overnight gives the best flavor.
4. Grill over medium heat, turning occasionally and basting with the reserved marinade (or make a fresh batch for basting) until the chicken reaches 165°F internally.
5. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Southern Twist Tip

For extra caramelization, brush the chicken with a little additional honey during the last 2–3 minutes on the grill. Watch it closely, as the honey can char quickly.
