Chicken Marinade

Found a soy sauce-based chicken marinade recipe on Cooks.com that I wanted to try out. Nothing complex. It was just a matter of mixing all the ingredients together and letting it soak for 24 hours.


From Cooks.com:
1/2 c. soy sauce
1/4 c. vegetable oil
1/4 c. red wine vinegar
1 tsp. oregano
1/2 tsp. sweet basil
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 tsp. pepper

Combine all ingredients; pour over chicken pieces in non-metal dish. Cover and refrigerate overnight, turning occasionally. Use marinade to baste chicken while cooking. Great for grilling.
I mixed the ingredients and began soaking in the evening. I turned the chicken the next morning, to get both sides thoroughly soaked, then began baking around the 24 hour mark.


I baked the chicken at 350 for two hours, covered. This may have overdone it a little bit, so I'd recommend keeping a close eye on it after about an hour 15.

With veggies and a baked potato, it makes a great, full meal. Use the extra marinade to flavor the potato.
