EASY NO-FAIL LEMON CHICKEN MARINADE
This just might be the best chicken marinade, ever. It's incredibly versatile. Use for marinating chicken, turkey, pork, fish, shrimp, tofu or vegetables. When marinating meats and poultry, marinate at least 1 hour or overnight. When marinating something more delicate like fish, you only need to marinate 1 to 2 hours. You can also use this to baste while cooking or grilling, if you plan to do this, simply set a portion of the prepared marinade aside for basting. **This makes enough to marinate 2 to 2 ½ pounds of chicken.

Steps:
- Whisk lemon juice, olive oil, mustard, salt, red pepper flakes and black pepper together until the salt has dissolved. Stir in the garlic, lemon zest and herbs (if using). Refrigerate and use within 1 to 2 hours.
- To marinate chicken, add the marinade and chicken to a resealable food-safe bag or container and marinate in the refrigerator. Since this is so flavorful, even 20 minutes will work wonders. We don't recommend marinating more than a day in advance since the lemon in the marinade can cause the chicken to toughen.

PERFECT LEMON-GARLIC CHICKEN MARINADE
I put this together when I was making some other Lebanese dishes, and I wanted chicken, but wasn't sure how I was going to make it. So this is what I came up with. One of the ingredients is Sumac- can find in middle eastern markets for sure. Its a dark red spice, that adds a lemony flavor. Its so very good. I like to make this chicken and serve it with Tabouli and Hummus. But I think it would be great with just about anything you choose to serve it with.

Steps:
- If chicken breasts are boneless and thick, I think they turn out better butterflied.
- Peel garlic and crush using a mortar/pestol with a little salt (makes crushing garlic easier) or buy garlic already crushed and place in a small bowl.
- Add lemon juice, olive oil, and sumac, and salt if you bought crushed garlic.
- Mix together.
- Place chicken in ziploc bag, add mixture from bowl. Make sure chicken is coated, seal bag and then place in refrigerator.
- I think it tastes best when marinated for at least 4 hours. But I 'm sure less is fine too.
- Grill chicken until done.
Tips:
- Choose the right chicken: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs are best for this marinade. If you're using chicken breasts, pound them to an even thickness so they cook evenly.
- Make sure the marinade is flavorful: The marinade should have a good balance of sweet, sour, and savory flavors. Use fresh lemon juice and garlic, and don't be afraid to add other spices and herbs, such as thyme, rosemary, or paprika.
- Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes: The longer the chicken marinates, the more flavorful it will be. If you're short on time, you can marinate the chicken for as little as 15 minutes, but the longer the better.
- Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken breasts can dry out quickly, so be careful not to overcook them. Cook them over medium heat until they are cooked through, but still juicy.
Conclusion:
This lemon garlic chicken marinade is a delicious and easy way to add flavor to your chicken. It's perfect for grilling, baking, or pan-frying. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and moist chicken dish that your family and friends will love.
