- ¼ Cup Honey
- 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
- 2 Cloves Garlic mashed

Instructions
- To make this chicken, start by preparing the marinade. Add all of the marinade ingredients to a small bowl and whisk them until they're fully combined.
- Next, prepare the chicken. Dry the chicken thoroughly with a paper towel and place it into a glass container. Then, pour the marinade on top of the chicken.
- Place the container in the fridge and allow the chicken to sit in marinade for a minimum of 30 minutes and a maximum time of 24 hours. The longer the chicken marinates, the juicier and more tender it will be! If you want to prepare the chicken ahead of time, you can store it in the marinade, in the freezer, for up to two months.
- Finally, prepare the chicken according to your favorite method. Here are my tips to making the most Perfectly Juicy Chicken, every single time!
