When it comes to sumer grilling, I really enjoy creating marinades for the meat to make them flavorful and delicious. Sure I buy marinades from brands like Lawry’s but most of the time I’m actually combining ingredients from my own pantry to make my own. It’s amazing what you could create ouf of all the stuff you already have. Like this Italian and honey mixture I made tonight.

INGREDIENTS :
chicken pieces (quarters, legs or thighs)
1 cup of Italian dressing
1/4 cup of honey
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tbsp of soy sauce
a sprinkle of red pepper flakes
water for par-boiling the chicken
Because you are grilling the chicken, you must par-boil them first. Par-boil the chicken pieces in water until fork tender. Par-boiling will prevent a burnt skin and raw meat. Drain the water once done par-boiling.
Put the chicken pieces in a large container.
Whisk together the Italian dressing, honey, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce and red pepper flakes.
Pour the marinade on the chicken pieces. Coat both sides. Cover the container and let the chicken marinade for 3-4 hours or overnight.
Grill the chicken pieces on both sides. About 8-10 minutes on each sides.
