Sun-Dried Tomato Marinated Chicken

I tend to always resort to the same Lemon & Herb marinade when I’m preparing chicken to grill, but I was inspired to try something new when I discovered a jar of old sun-dried tomatoes in my fridge. I combined the sun-dried tomatoes with garlic, oregano and red wine vinegar to create a marinade that’s really packed with flavour. 

Although you could marinate the chicken for as little as 30 minutes, the flavours only begins to permeate the chicken after an hour. The more surface area there is, the quicker the meat will marinate, so if you are short on time, cut the chicken in half or slash the surface the with a knife. I personally prefer chicken thighs over breasts when grilling because they have more flavour and remain moist while chicken breasts can easily dry out.
