Spicy Mediterranean Chicken Marinade Recipe:
A Spicy Mediterranean Chicken Marinade enhances the taste, tenderness, and juiciness of meat, poultry, or vegetables with flavorful liquids or mixtures. You can also use this on fish and turkey! I served this with mashed potatoes and boiled rice, and some of the marinade was used as a sauce. YUMMY!!!
Ingredients
- 4 chicken thighs
- ΒΌ cup olive oil
- 2 tbsp. lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp. smoked paprika
- 1 tbsp. dried oregano
- 1 tbsp. fresh parsley
- 1 tbsp. dried thyme
- 1 tbsp. red chili flakes

Instructions
- For a Mediterranean chicken recipe grilled, preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Mix the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, fresh parsley, paprika, red chili flakes, salt, and pepper together in a bowl.
- Spread the marinade evenly over the chicken pieces in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. If you're using a bag, be sure to seal it tightly.
- Marinate the chicken overnight, or at least for 2 hours.
- Once the chicken has been marinated, allow any excess marinade to drip off.
- Place the chicken thighs on the grill and close the lid after removing them from the marinade
- Each side should be cooked for 6-8 minutes. To keep the chicken juicy, only flip it once.
- Rest the chicken for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
- Garnish with lemon and fresh parsley and serve.
- Enjoy! Spicy Grilled Mediterranean Chicken Marinade
