The Scoop
This chicken brings the marinade and the grill marks!
Balsamic vinegar, olive oil, brown sugar, garlic, thyme, and rosemary come together for a tangy-sweet marinade that gives juicy chicken plenty of savory flavor and a beautifully caramelized finish.
Easy enough for a weeknight, good enough to disappear at the next cookout!
