For an even more intense flavor, try adding a tablespoon of Dijon mustard or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to the marinade. If you don't have a grill, the chicken can be baked in a preheated oven at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for about 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through. Feel free to adjust the amount of garlic powder and salt to your liking. Taste the marinade before adding the chicken and adjust accordingly. This marinade is also excellent for chicken thighs, drumsticks, or wings. Adjust cooking times as needed.
