Brown Sugar Chicken Marinade
Both undeniably delectable and incredibly easy to make, this marinade adds the sweetness of dark brown and granulated sugar to basil, ginger, and garlic. A blend of fresh seasonings and herbal accents comes together to create chicken that not only grills up deliciously, but offers the appeal of a lip-smacking stickiness of flavor.
