Killer Crack Chicken Marinade
Love this recipe so much because its a breeze to make and it tastes so good. The flavors are a combination of Asian style with the sesame oil and soy sauce, combined with the Worcestershire sauce, lemon, lots of garlic and honey. Its definitely sweet and salty goodness.
My best advice for this recipe is to allow it marinate as long as you can. We need those yummy flavors attaching themselves to that chicken. The beauty of this dish is that you can use any type of chicken (breasts, boneless, skinless) and you can also grill it or fry it in a pan. This chicken will pair perfectly with my Mashed Potatoes or Cauliflower Rice.

Crack Chicken Marinade
Ingredients
- 8 chicken thighs, bone in skin on
- 2 tbs olive oil
- 1 tbs sesame oil
- 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
- 1 tbs Worcestershire sauce
- 1 large lemon juiced
- 5 tbs honey (or maple syrup)
- 7 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbs ginger
- 2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Pat your chicken pieces dry.
- In a large bow, whisk together the oils, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, honey, garlic, ginger, salt and pepper. Add in the chicken and toss to coat all. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Preheat your oven to 450°F. Transfer your chicken to 9×13" baking dish and pour over the marinade. Bake for about 30-35 minutes or until the internal temp of the chicken reads 165°F. I basted the chicken pieces halfway through so that they wouldn't dry out.
- Mine came out crispy and browned on top, if yours needs the color, turn on the broiler for a few minutes to give them that crispy tan.

Can’t wait to try this tomorrow night. Looks amazing.
I had 4 boneless skinless thighs and I pan fried them. Served with mashed cauliflower/rutabaga and salad. Hubby loved it all!
Loved this recipe, thank you!
Thanks for this delicious recipe. My oven runs hot so it’s a bit darker than yours, but it was still wonderful. I served it with air fryer broccoli and jasmine rice. It’s a keeper! I tried to post a picture but it didn’t work.

Sounds like a great dish, however poor choice of title. :_(.
My husband and I loved this, so I made it again for a Galentine dinner I hosted and it was a huge hit! Perfect with rice to enjoy the marinade.
Hi Robin, glad EVERYONE enjoyed the dish! Thanks for taking the time to leave some feedback!
What could I use instead of sesame oil?
more olive oil
Absolutely delish! I did broil
In the end and I also marinated overnight.
Hi Patti, that sounds fantastic! Thanks so much for trying it!!
Really great – thanks so much!
Glad you enjoyed!
I made this with chicken thighs and it came out DELICIOUS! I was wondering if this marinate would work just as well for ribs.
Hi Patricia, I would say yes it would translate quite well!
This makes a lot of marinade. thinking about a layer of potatoes under the thighs, cooked in the marinade. Has anyone tried?
Hey Jules, I would say yes, but maybe cut the potatoes into small cubes since the cook time is short on this dish
