It is that time of year again. Time to break out the barbecue and have some typical summer dishes. This Soy Garlic Chicken recipe was given to me by my friend, Melissa, several years ago. I think it is definitely one of the best marinade recipes I have ever had and can be used with a wide variety of meats.
