This marinade infuses chicken with a delightful blend of savory and tangy flavors, perfect for grilling or baking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, water, lemon juice, brown sugar, minced garlic, and ground pepper.
Whisk the ingredients thoroughly to ensure the sugar dissolves completely for an even flavor.
Place the chicken in a zip-top bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over it.
Ensure the chicken is fully coated with the marinade for maximum flavor.
Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
Turn the chicken occasionally to ensure even marination.
Cook the marinated chicken using your preferred method, such as grilling, baking, or pan-frying.
Discard any leftover marinade that has been in contact with raw chicken.
Serve the cooked chicken with your favorite sides and enjoy.
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for a vibrant touch.
