Ingredients

  • ⅓ cup olive oil
  • ⅓ cup pure maple syrup
  • ⅓ cup balsamic vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 sprigs of fresh thyme
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • In a small mixing bowl, whisk together oil, syrup, vinegar, salt and pepper. Place chicken in a large resealable bag. Place thyme in the bag and pour in the marinade. Toss gently to coat. Allow chicken to marinate for at least 4 hours. 
  • Remove chicken from bag and discard the thyme and used marinade.
  • Heat grill to medium heat and grill chicken until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees. Remove from grill and serve immediately. 

Notes

It is fine for chicken to marinate 4-8 hours if the 4 hour time is not workable for your cooking schedule. The result with be a slightly sweeter chicken.
