Chicken Marinades

We had a great time hanging out with friends from church last night! We even took advantage of the warmer weather (high 40's) by cooking up a storm on our BBQ grill. Today I'd like to share two of my favorite chicken marinade recipes with you. The Mouth Watering Chicken Marinade seemed to be the favorite of most but I really enjoy the Lemon Chicken Marinade as well. They are both perfect for a good BBQ!

MOUTH WATERING CHICKEN MARINADE

1 can Sprite
3/4 c. vegetable oil
3/4 c. soy sauce
1/4 t. garlic powder

Combine all ingredients, add chicken pieces, cover and refrigerate 1-2 hours or overnight. Discard marinade, grill chicken on your BBQ grill.

1/2 c. extra virgin olive oil
1/2 c. lemon juice
1 T. lemon zest
1/2 T. kosher salt
1 t. ground black pepper
4 large cloves garlic, peeled and roughly chopped

Put all ingredients into a blender or food processor until liquids are fully combined and garlic is well pureed. Mixture should be opaque and fairly thick. Pour over chicken and marinade for 4-8 hours.
