Incredible chicken marinated in savory soy, garlic, and flavorful sauces, perfect for grilling or baking, offering a tender, juicy, and savory dish suited for any occasion.
Ingredients
Instructions
- In a large bowl, crush 4 to 5 cloves of garlic so that the juice from the garlic stays in the bowl as well as the garlic.
- Stir in onion salt, Lawry's seasoned salt, black pepper, soy sauce, teriyaki marinade sauce, and Dale's steak sauce.
- Stir well, making sure to cover the chicken with plenty of marinating juices.
- Cover your bowl with Saran Wrap and place in the refrigerator for 2 to 4 hours.
- Stir chicken about once every hour to be sure you have your chicken well saturated.
- Cook your chicken on the grill or in the oven at 450°F for approximately 45 minutes.
- Remember to baste the chicken with the extra sauce during cooking.
Tips & Substitutions
For a bolder flavor, let the chicken marinate overnight. If you don't have onion salt, you can substitute with equal parts of regular salt and onion powder. Feel free to add a dash of cayenne pepper for some heat, or try using teriyaki sauce for a sweeter finish. For perfect grilling, make sure your grill grates are well-oiled to prevent sticking.

Serve Ed's Incredible Chicken alongside a fresh garden salad or grilled vegetables for a light meal. It pairs beautifully with rice or quinoa to soak up any extra sauce.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen chicken for this recipe?
Yes, you can use frozen chicken, but be sure to thaw it completely before marinating. This ensures that the marinade penetrates the meat effectively. If you're short on time, consider using the microwave to defrost it quickly, but always marinate afterward.
What kind of grill should I use?
A charcoal or gas grill both work well for cooking this chicken. Charcoal gives a smoky flavor, while gas offers convenience. If using an oven, a convection setting can help achieve a crispy exterior. Ensure your grill is preheated to get those beautiful sear marks.
Can I bake this chicken instead of grilling?
Absolutely! Baking is a great option, especially if you prefer not to grill. Just place your marinated chicken on a baking sheet and cook in an oven preheated to 450°F for about 45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
