My favorite BBQ Chicken Marinade

Ingredients

• 2/3 cup olive oil
• 2/3 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup lemon juice (vinegar works too)
  
• 2 tablespoons liquid smoke flavoring (optional if you are using a Charcoal BBQ)
  
• 2 tablespoons spicy brown mustard
• 2 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 1 TB sugar
  
• 2 teaspoons garlic salt
• 4 - 7 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
• favorite grilling veggies chopped in large chunks to be skewered
  
• * I like to add herbs to match the flavors of my meal: Asian night I add a little ginger, Italian night I add basil and oregano, Mexican night I add a little cumin....
  

Directions

1. In a large bowl, mix the olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, liquid smoke, mustard, pepper, and garlic powder. poor 1/5 of the marinade in large bowl, toss the veggies with it and sprinkle with tiny bit more salt cover and set aside. Place chicken in the bowl, and coat with the marinade. Cover, and allow chicken to marinate a maximum of 4 hours in the refrigerator. I would shoot for at least 2 hours if the breast are large.
   
2. Preheat the grill for high heat. Skewer the veggies.
   
3. Oil grill grate. Discard marinade, and place chicken on grate. Cook 6 to 8 minutes on each side, until juices run clear.Throw on the veggies and cook until desired done-ness.
   

Your chicken will look beautiful and taste great too! We have served this to five different dinner guests and everyone raves about it. Itis really super good!
