3 Tablespoons honey

1-2 teaspoons hot pepper sauce

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

Instructions For The Best Chicken Marinade:

1. Mix all ingredients-except the thawed boneless skinless chicken breasts-in a large ZipLoc bag. Mix well.

2. Place thawed chicken breasts in the bag and seal tight. Rotate bag to coat chicken.

3. Refrigerate the chicken for at least eight hours. I like to marinate overnight. Remove chicken from the bag.

4. Grill chicken breasts to 165 degrees, internal temperature and no longer pink. Do not over cook. Enjoy with grilled, baked or sautéed veggies or salads!

You can mix the marinade in a ZipLoc or in a bowl.
