This is a great marinade for chicken. I use it to Sous Vide chicken or to cook on a grill. One of my favorite things is to mix the marinade and place in Sous Vide bag with chicken. Once the chicken is done, I freeze it in the vacuum sealed bag until I go camping, then I finish the chicken on a wood fire grill. I also take the Sous Vide chicken and finish on my gas grill at home to get a nice crispy skin finish. This recipe is for 1.5 lbs of chicken.
