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.
Hi, I”m trying this tomorrow! Have you tried this recipe in the air fryer??
HI Jennifer, this will definitely work in the air fryer
I used skinless, boneless breasts. I marinated it for 2.5 hours & thought it was pretty good. My 13 yr old son loved it.

Absolutely delicious chicken! The marinade made a delicious sauce! Do you use powdered ginger or freshly grated. I went with a tsp powdered because I was unsure. Thank you for all of you delicious recipes!
