Chicken Marinade

Summer barbecues, with the gathering of family and friends, are wonderful times to try recipes for marinating chicken because it's easy, inexpensive and just about everyone loves chicken. Marinating imparts such wonderful flavor and really helps to keep the meat moist. I think chicken barbecues better if it has been marinated for a few hours to overnight. This recipe is very flavorful and inexpensive to prepare as most of the ingredients are probably already in the pantry. Have a wonderful Memorial Day celebration, blessings...

Recipe:

1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
1/2 tsp. thyme
1 tsp. dried rosemary, crushed, or 1 tbsp. minced fresh rosemary
1 clove garlic, crushed

Mix together all ingredients. Marinate cut-up chicken in a glass 9" x 13" pan, covered, overnight. Turn chicken pieces a few times during the process.
