- 10 ml oil (vegetable or olive oil)
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, combine 40 g of honey, 40 ml of soy sauce, minced 3 garlic cloves, 10 ml of oil, and a pinch of black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Coat the Chicken: Place your chicken pieces in the bowl or a resealable bag and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the chicken is evenly coated by mixing or tossing gently.

Notes
- For best results, marinate the chicken for several hours or overnight.

- This marinade works well with chicken breasts, thighs, or drumsticks.
- Discard leftover marinade that has come into contact with raw chicken to avoid foodborne illness.
