Steps
Gather all ingredients and mince the garlic and chop the fresh dill.
In a medium bowl, add the 1/3 cup of lemon juice.
Slowly whisk in the 1/4 cup of vegetable oil until the mixture is well combined and emulsified.
Add the black pepper, water, chopped dill, salt, and minced garlic to the bowl.
Continue to whisk the mixture for a few seconds to ensure all seasonings are evenly distributed.
Let the marinade stand for 10 minutes at room temperature before using it to allow the flavors to meld.
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.
