For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup to the marinade. If you don't have liquid smoke, you can substitute a teaspoon of smoked paprika. This marinade also works well with chicken thighs or drumsticks. Adjust cooking time as needed. For best results, use high-quality olive oil and freshly squeezed lemon juice.

Feb 6, 2022I accidentally marinated the chicken for 5 hours, and it was still delicious! I think the lemon juice didn't make a big difference.
