For an even more intense flavor, consider injecting some of the marinade directly into the thickest parts of the poultry before marinating. Adjust the garlic and herb quantities to suit your personal taste preferences. This marinade is excellent on grilled chicken breasts or thighs as well. Marinate for at least 4 hours for smaller cuts of meat. Make sure the internal temperature of your poultry reaches a safe level before consuming.
