Whether you’re grilling, smoking, roasting or baking chicken, this marinade offers depth of flavor and ease of use. It’s designed for home cooks who want restaurant-quality taste without complex prep.

Why you’ll love it:

• A thoughtfully crafted blend of herbs and spices that brings out the best in chicken.
• Easy to use: pour and marinate — then cook. No mixing ingredients required.
• Versatile: while made for chicken, it can also help elevate other proteins or veggies in a pinch.
• Backed by John Henry’s heritage in BBQ and flavor-crafting from East Texas.

Usage tips:

• For chicken breasts or thighs: Place chicken in a suitable container, cover with marinade (use approximately ½–1 cup marinade per 2–3 lb of chicken), refrigerate for 2–4 hours (or up to overnight for more flavor), then grill, bake or smoke until internal temperature reaches safe level.
• For chicken wings or drumsticks: Marinate for 1–2 hours, then bake or grill, finishing with a light brush of marinade during the last few minutes for extra gloss.
• For vegetables or other proteins: Toss veggies or lean meats lightly in the marinade for ~30 minutes, then cook as usual.
• Tip: Reserve a little marinade (before it contacts raw meat) to brush on near the end of cooking for added flavor and moisture.

Flavor profile:

Expect a savory-forward profile with aromatic herbs, spices and a subtle depth that enhances the chicken rather than masking it. The emphasis is on enhancing natural taste rather than overpowering sweetness or heavy heat.

Perfect for:

• Grilled or oven-roasted chicken pieces (breast, thighs, wings)
• Smoked or rotisserie whole chicken
• Weeknight dinners or weekend BBQs where you want flavour without fuss
• Cooks wanting a go-to marinade that delivers consistent results

Elevate your cooking:

Skip plain chicken. With John Henry’s Chicken Marinade, you get bold but approachable flavor, minimal effort and consistent results. Pour, marinate, cook — and serve up juicy, flavorful chicken that stands out.
