We create a lot of chicken recipes at The Kitchn. It’s a reliable, affordable protein most of our families can get behind, and there are seemingly endless ways to flavor it, cut it, and cook it. (Case in point: We’re newly onto “chicken bites” over here, whether you take yours flavored with garlic parm or French onion.) So I get ridiculously overjoyed when there’s a recipe that’s brilliant enough in its conception that it sticks out from the flock (had to) of other chicken dinners.
This top-rated grilled chicken marinade recipe ensures perfectly tender, juicy, and flavorful chicken every time.
Grilled Chicken Marinade Ingredients
You likely have everything you need for this top-rated grilled chicken marinade in your pantry. If not, here’s what you’ll need to add to your grocery list:
Red wine vinegar: This top-rated grilled chicken marinade starts with sweet, tangy, and flavorful red wine vinegar.
Oil: Aromatic olive oil infuses the meat with flavor and moisture, ensuring deliciously juicy chicken every time.
Soy sauce: This grilled chicken marinade calls for low sodium soy sauce, which we think delivers the perfect amount of saltiness. Of course, if you like your marinade extra salty, you can use regular soy sauce.
Spices and seasonings: This savory grilled chicken marinade calls for these earthy, herbaceous spices and seasonings: driedparsley flakes, dried basil, dried oregano, garlic powder, and ground black pepper.

A. Purse 5.0 out of 5 stars. Excellent Book, Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2021 Verified Purchase So far I’ve made the chicken liver pate the rigatoni alla vodka the farfalle with sausage spaghetti carbonara and pasta à la vodka. Every single dish is a 10. I have original Italian recipes that I’ve used for years and these recipes are just as good and much much more convenient. Frankly to me this book is a wonder: in half an hour you can make incredible Italian food and the taste is perfection.
iluvag 5.0 out of 5 stars. I love Italian Food and my Instant Pot! Reviewed in the United States on May 12, 2023 Verified Purchase I have quite a few of these Instant Pot cookbooks. I've been eyeing this book for awhile, because I love Italian Food, but did not purchase it, because frankly some of my recent book purchases from Amazon have not arrived in the best condition. Definitely unfair to the sellers who take care, but I was really getting tired of receiving new books that were mangled during shipping because of inadequate shipping packaging! I finally decided to get this book, and I'm so happy I did! The recipes sound really, really good! But, in addition to that, this seller wrapped this book so well, that not even the Post Office could damage it. It arrived in absolutely perfect condition! Can't wait to try these recipes in my Instant Pot!
As I write this, it’s high summer. Despite being an avid cook, I do not mix well with heat, and when summer rolls around I start to really prioritize quick dishes that can do double or even triple duty. One of my consistent go-tos are flavorful bite-sized mains that can be served in a number of different ways. Garlic butter steak bites go great with a side of grilled vegetables or wrapped in tortillas for an easy taco night, and honey-glazed salmon bites can be served over salad greens or tossed with pasta.
My new favorite version is gochujang chicken, a flavorful dish that comes together in 30 minutes, making it perfect for hot summer nights when I have no interest in being in the kitchen any longer than that. It’s as tasty served over a bowl of white rice for dinner as it is tossed with greens for lunch the next day.
Why You’ll Love It
The perfect balance of spicy and sweet. Gochujang paste is the base for a simple stir-together sauce that includes sweet agave syrup (or honey) to balance bright heat with mellow sweetness.
You only need one pan. The chicken and sauce cook together in the same skillet, so you only have one cooking vessel to wash after dinner.
It’s ready in a flash. It only takes about half an hour, making it a great candidate for weeknight dinner, or really any time you don’t want to spend any extra time in the kitchen (like the peak of summer heat).

I'll be a master come fall!!! I can't wait to serve up some new summer traditions.
ALTEREDSTATE16 4.0 out of 5 stars Easy and delicious Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2013 Verified Purchase The recipes in this book are very easy to make and the ingredients are readily available, most of which are inexpensive. I have not tried them all but the chosen few were quite delicious and refreshing. Although most of the recipes are alcohol free there is no reason vodka, gin or rum can' be added and used as a cocktail at your summer bar - b - ques ! The nutritional data is also included for each recipe which is an added benefit.
that still brings serious crunch and texture. You’ve got the cooling crunch of the cucumbers, juicy sweetness of the tomatoes, and sharpness from the onions. Tie that all together with some fresh herbs and a simple vinaigrette and you have a winning combo every time. It’s bright and fresh, with just enough sweetness to keep the acidity in check.
It’s the kind of goes-with-anything salad that can brighten up any spread, equally at home stuffed into a pita sandwich as it is alongside a giant platter of braised meat. It’s the perfect thing to add to your meal when you can’t quite put your finger on what’s missing.
Why You’ll Love It
Juicy but never soggy. Unlike a lot of other cucumber salads, this one’s not as watery. The secret: Using salt to draw out the excess water and concentrate the flavor.
It goes with everything. This salad is juicy and flavorful, but the flavor profile plays well with nearly any spread.
Key Ingredients in Cucumber Tomato Salad
Cucumbers: Thin-skinned English cucumbers don’t need to be peeled or seeded.
Tomatoes: Use the best medium tomatoes you can find. You can even use bigger varieties like heirloom tomatoes if they look more delicious.

The award-winning, bestselling author of The Sopranos Family Cookbook “presents unintimidating recipes that serve up hearty dishes with a minimum of fuss” (Publishers Weekly).
Finally a book that combines the fresh, exuberant flavors of great Italian food with the ease and comfort of a slow cooker. Michele Scicolone, a bestselling author and an authority on Italian cooking, shows how good ingredients and simple techniques can lift the usual “crockpot” fare into the dimension of fine food.
Pasta with Meat and Mushroom Ragu, Osso Buco with Red Wine, Chicken with Peppers and Mushrooms: These are dishes that even the most discriminating cook can proudly serve to company, yet all are so carefree that anyone with just five or ten minutes of prep time can make them on a weekday and return to perfection.
Simmered in the slow cooker, soups, stews, beans, grains, pasta sauces, and fish are as healthy as they are delicious. Polenta and risotto, “stir-crazy” dishes that ordinarily need careful timing, are effortless. Meat loaves come out perfectly moist, tough cuts of meat turn succulent, and cheesecakes emerge flawless.

What’s better than chocolate oatmeal cookies? No-bake chocolate oatmeal cookies, of course!
Some of our best cookie recipes are chewy and aromatic, perfect when warm from the oven. Even still, no-bake cookies have some pretty major perks. You don’t need to turn on the oven, so they’re the ideal no-bake summer desserts. And since the cookies don’t need to bake, you don’t need to worry about underbaking or overbaking them. They’ll turn out just right no matter what.
These no-bake chocolate oatmeal cookies are endlessly adaptable to suit your tastes, with mix-ins and flavor swaps galore. Here’s how to make them at home.
Ingredients for No-Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies
Quick-cooking oats: Chewy oatmeal cookies rely on—of course!—oats to taste great. Make sure to buy quick-cooking oats, which will soften up nicely using the method below. Hardier oats, such as rolled, will not work in this recipe. (If you can find gluten-free quick-cooking oats, you may use them!)
Milk: Milk adds both flavor and moisture to the cookies, helping to bind them together without heat. You can use any type of milk, from whole milk to nonfat to nondairy (our Test Kitchen ranked the best nondairy milks).
Shredded coconut: Shredded coconut offsets the chewiness of the oats and makes for a more tender cookie. It also adds a gentle sweetness and subtle flavor.
