Notes

Marinating Times: Marinate chicken breasts or thighs for 2 hours. For turkey breasts or whole chickens, marinate for 4 to 6 hours. Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Variations: You can swap dill for rosemary, parsley, or thyme. Olive oil can be used instead of vegetable oil for a richer flavor. For a citrus twist, try orange juice with parsley or lime juice with cilantro.
