Ingredients

Directions

  1. Combine red wine, olive oil, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and black pepper in a large screw-top jar or mixing bowl.

  3. Place 3 lbs of cut-up chicken pieces into a large resealable plastic bag set inside a shallow baking dish.
  4. Pour the marinade over the chicken in the bag, ensuring all pieces are coated.
  5. Squeeze excess air out of the bag and seal it tightly.
  6. Turn the bag gently to distribute the marinade evenly around the chicken pieces.
  7. Refrigerate the chicken for 4 to 6 hours, turning the bag over occasionally to ensure even marinating.
  8. Preheat your grill or broiler to medium-high heat.
  9. Remove chicken from the marinade, discarding the used liquid, and place on the grill or broiler pan.
  10. Cook chicken, turning frequently, for about 45 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and juices run clear.
