This easy BBQ chicken marinade is perfect for grilling, smoking, or sous vide cooking. It's made up of just 9 pantry staples, including brown sugar and apple cider vinegar, resulting in a juicy, flavorful chicken. Whether it's chicken wings for the air fryer or a whole bird for the sous vide, this versatile marinade will take your poultry (and even seafood or pork!) to drool-worthy levels.
Set aside about 1/4 cup of the marinade for brushing on cooked chicken. Add your chicken to a large zipper top bag or tupperware container and pour the marinade over the top. Toss to completely coat the chicken in the marinade.
