Best Homemade Marinade

ByGuest Updated onMarch 31, 2023 Everyday, Food & Drink

If you’re anything like me, you love to eat freshly grilled food in the summer. This is my all-time favorite marinade for chicken and vegetables. We marinade chicken and vegetables (in separate containers!), then make shish-kabobs on the grill all the time! So great!

There are A LOT of ingredients in this marinade. But–trust me–once you make this and eat it, you will never, ever go back to a store bought marinade. It is, quite simply, the best marinade you will ever eat.

When you finish making your marinade, marinade your meat first. Put it in a container with the marinade and refrigerate it for a few hours to get the best flavor. Make sure you put your vegetables in a separate container with marinade. The vegetables do NOT need to be in the marinade nearly as long. They just need a short time to get the full flavors. My favorite vegetables to use with chicken shish-kabobs are little onions, peppers and mushrooms. Mmmmm!
