I typically make my own. I have two different ones that my family enjoys. I don't measure anything, just kind of pour stuff in.
One is just barbecue sauce (about 1/2 cup or enough to coat the chicken), about one or two tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, pepper (maybe 1-2 tsp fresh ground), dash of onion powder and a dash of garlic powder. I grill this and make a southwestern chicken salad with corn and black bean guacamole.
I also do one with (again, just guesstimating here! I don't measure just enough to kind of coat everything.) 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar, 1-2 tablespoons olive oil, 1-2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, fresh pepper (maybe 1-2 tsp), 1 tsp lemon pepper, 1-2 tsp. rosemary, and a dash of garlic powder and onion powder.

I throw fresh lime juice, olive oil, crushed garlic and Trader Joe’s Chili Lime seasoning in a bag with my chicken breast and let it marinate a few hours before grilling. It’s really tasty!

Italian salad dressing.
Does not matter if it is a cheap brand or not.

Creamy Caesar dressing: pound chicken to an even thickness then marinate in a Ziplock bag. During the last few minutes of grilling, slather with your favorite BBQ Sauce.  |

I saw this one today. May try it out tomorrow or Monday Easiest Greek Grilled Chicken
I tried fixing the link. If not, here is the recipe: INGREDIENTS: 1 1/4 – 1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts 1/2 teaspoon salt + 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 1/2 teaspoon EACH fresh chopped rosemary AND dried oregano (see note) 1 teaspoon fresh thyme (or 1/2 teaspoon dried) 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1 tablespoon minced garlic 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (not the stuff in a bottle!) 3 tablespoons olive oil 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar DIRECTIONS: In a small bowl, combine the salt, pepper, rosemary, oregano, thyme, cayenne, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and red wine vinegar. Place the chicken breasts in a large zip top bag. Pour the prepared marinade on top, zip the bag and give it a good shake until the chicken is evenly coated. Allow the chicken to marinate for 10 minutes – 2 hours. I like to stick to a 30 minute marinade if possible. Preheat an indoor or outdoor grill to medium high heat. Spray the grates with nonstick cooking spray if desired. Place the chicken breasts on the grill, discard any leftover marinade. Cook the chicken breasts for 5-6 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165ºF. Serve immediately, garnish with chopped parsley if desired. NOTES: The fresh rosemary can be replaced with 1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary. Boneless skinless chicken thighs can also be used in place of chicken breasts if desired. I have not tested this recipe with bone-in chicken thighs/breasts so please use your best judgement! |

A combo of soy sauce, grated ginger and sesame oil is my fave. 1/2 cup soy, 2 tbsp. ginger, 2 tbsp. sesame oil.

The link is giving me a "page not found" message. I usually marinate chicken breast with olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, seasoning salt, lemon pepper and oregano for about 30 minutes before grilling. |

Italian salad dressing. Does not matter if it is a cheap brand or not. Love marinating chicken in Italian dressing. Sometimes I like to add some Catalina dressing too for something different. |

1/2 tsp. garlic salt

Mix together first 5 ingredients in a gallon zipper bag. Add chicken and marinate in the fridge for a few hours to overnight. Grill until cooked through.

I don't often marinate, but I have two easy ways that I enjoy grilled chicken (on a charcoal grill).
The first is to sprinkle with Lawry's seasoned salt and spray with olive oil to keep from sticking to the grill.
The second is to mix together melted butter, any kind of vinegar (I like balsamic), and garlic powder, then baste while cooking chicken. There aren't any specific measurements -- any combination will do. Yum!
I love chicken on the grill -- so happy that grilling season has finally arrived!
