All-Star Marinade

A Flavorful Beginning

Directions:

1. Mix vomFASS Mango Balsamic Star, salt, pepper and dried Italian herbs together.
2. Add half part vomFASS Chili Oil and a heavy spoonful of vomFASS Sweet & Spicy BBQ Seasoning.
3. Mix everything together well.
4. Taste and adjust the salt and pepper as needed.

This marinade goes well with red or white meat. Our Mango Balsamic Star gives it a fruity touch. Try the marinade with beef Shish Kabobs or pork baby back ribs

At Vomfass, we believe a marinade should do more than simply coat your chicken or pork chops. It should transform the meal.

The All-Star Marinade brings together oils and vinegars that balance sweetness, tang, and richness for grilled chicken, tender chicken thighs, or even pork baby back ribs.

This isn’t just another chicken marinade recipe—it’s the best chicken marinade when you want flavor that feels both refined and bold.

What Makes the Best Chicken Marinade?

The heart of the best chicken marinade lies in balance. Salt and pepper bring foundation. Apple Balsamic Star offers fruity acidity.

vomFASS Chili Oil provides depth with some heat, while sweetness from the Mango Balsamic Star rounds it all out.

When combined, this marinade creates a perfectly balanced blend that clings to chicken breasts, chicken tenders, or chicken wings without overpowering them.

A truly great grilled chicken marinade recipe also builds flavor in layers. Lemon juice, lime juice can also be added to brighten the recipe.

Soy sauce or worcestershire sauce can deepen umami notes. A touch of brown sugar or maple syrup caramelizes beautifully on grill grates.

When you marinate chicken with the right mix, you create so much flavor that every bite of grilled chicken feels like a celebration.

Chicken Marinade Ingredients That Work Every Time

When choosing marinade ingredients, keep in mind the three key components:

1. Acid – Lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, apple cider vinegar, or lime juice.
2. Fat – Olive oil, extra virgin olive oil, or chili oil.
3. Flavor boosters – Fresh garlic, garlic powder, dijon mustard, coconut aminos, worcestershire sauce, or cajun seasoning and barbecue sauce.

This balance ensures you can pour marinade over chicken pieces, let it soak in a large resealable plastic bag or large ziploc bag, and trust it to tenderize while infusing flavor.

When you remove chicken later to grill, you’ll find that the marinade has done more than season—it’s prepared the meat to shine.

Pro Tip: Always allow at least a quick soak of 30 minutes, but for marinated chicken thighs or thinly sliced chicken breasts, overnight resting in the fridge gives absolutely the most delicious results.

Why Grilled Chicken Loves This Marinade

Grilling season calls for bold flavors, and this is where this All-Star Marinade proves itself as a definite keeper.

Grilled chicken over medium heat or medium high heat develops a charred exterior while locking in juices.

When you preheat grill surfaces and lightly oil the grill grates, the marinade caramelizes instead of sticking.

The result?

Grilled chicken thighs with smoky apple richness, skinless chicken breasts that stay juicy, and boneless skinless chicken that reaches the right internal temperature without drying out.

Even chicken wings or chicken tenders benefit when you baste chicken with the remaining marinade as it cooks.

It’s not just about technique—it’s about pairing high-quality oils and vinegars, which is why Vomfass oils and balsamic vinegar create a difference you can taste.

What to Avoid in a Marinade

While it’s tempting to load a chicken marinade with every spice in your cabinet, restraint matters. Too much salt can toughen meat.

Overuse of citrus like lemon juice or lime juice can break down proteins until they become mushy. A great marinade doesn’t drown the chicken, it enhances it.

Think of it this way: the best chicken marinade recipe is about harmony. Each element should support the other.

If you keep that in mind, every grilled chicken marinade will turn out as intended—tasty, bold, and balanced.

Variations for Every Cut

• Chicken breasts: A grilled chicken marinade with soy sauce, brown sugar, and fresh garlic adds depth to lean cuts.
• Chicken thighs: A touch of worcestershire sauce or cajun white barbeque sauce enhances marinated chicken thighs, keeping them rich and savory.
• Chicken tenders: A lighter mix with extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar makes them easy for weeknight cooking.
• Chicken wings: Brown sugar and Mango Balsamic Star vinegar balance out spicy flavors, making them crowd-pleasers.

And don’t forget—this awesome marinade works for pork chops, seafood kebabs, or even vegetables.

Why the All-Star Marinade Stands Out

This marinade isn’t just versatile, it’s designed to be the best marinade for chicken and beyond.

It uses wholesome oils, carefully chosen vinegar, and natural sweeteners to create a tasty marinade that adds both depth and brightness.

It’s a recipe that earns required recipe ratings across the board because it delivers results every time.

Review recipe feedback often mentions it’s absolutely delicious, a definite keeper, and so much flavor in every bite.

That’s the mark of a best chicken marinade recipe—it performs reliably for grilled chicken, chicken pieces, or even when you marinate chicken overnight in a large resealable plastic bag.

At vomFASS, we craft oils and vinegars with care so that your home cooking turns into an elevated experience.
