Re: What's your favorite grilled chicken marinade?
Mmmmm, these all sound great!
I'm just getting into grilling....
Do you use with thin breasts or thighs?
Any exact measurements?
Marinade overnight is the general rule?

I usually use boneless skinless breasts. I can never find boneless thighs, plus I find that they aren't butchered as well so the chicken cooks more unevenly.
As for marinating overnight, it depends what is in the marinade. I will usually just do it for an hour or two. If a marinade has a lot of acid (citrus, vinegar, wine), it can start to "cook" the chicken ceviche-style if it sits in the marinade for too long, which you don't want to happen.
I don't use exact measurements, I just eyeball it. I'd say you just want to make sure there is a good balance of ingredients/flavors. I usually build the marinade in a big ziplock and mix it around and taste it before adding in the chicken.

Re: What's your favorite grilled chicken marinade?
I usually marinate day-of (like prepare it in the morning or a couple of hours before starting to make dinner).
I usually use skinless boneless chicken breasts or chicken tenderloins (have to skewer those usually).
there are too many marinades to list. You can use oils and spices/herbs or soy sauce or mustard or salad dressings or any citrus fruit... it depends on what the meal is. I try to match it to my side dishes or the overall theme of the meal.

I guess you really can't go wrong with the ingredient parts?

Nope! That's the beauty of it. Hell, I've even just dumped some BBQ sauce out of a jar on it for the marinade.

GREAT!
For just us we typically do BBQ sauce...BUT we're throwing a little party & wanted something that could marinade so it would be flavorful & moist, hen just grill, no need to do more saucing... Know what I mean.
Maybe I'll do the italian flavors, since that's what I'm basically making for the party.
