Pretty Chicken Marinade

SUBMITTED BY: TaraNicole PHOTO BY: GodivaGirl

"This is a great chicken marinade! Allow chicken to marinate for no longer than 4 hours, because the lemon juice will begin to cook the chicken. When grilled, the chicken turns a beautiful caramel color, which makes great presentation. This is my fiance's favorite chicken."
