]]> This zesty marinade for chicken came out of some trial and error but it is now a favorite. We use a lot of bottled marinades on out chicken and pork. They are delicious and we have our favorites but I’ve been doing some experimenting and coming up with some new-to-us flavors. I concocted this zesty chicken marinade for our Independence Day celebration with my husband’s side of the family. They loved my Hawaiian Huli Huli Chicken with Grilled Pineapples for our last celebration and asked me for something new.

Wishbone Italian Dressing is the base for this marinade. I often marinate my pork chops in just this dressing, nothing else, so I knew it would make a great base. I added some soy sauce, crushed red pepper and garlic powder and voila! I have a new marinade.
