Balsamic Chicken Marinade
This is an amazing marinade to kick up your next barbecue. I used Fig Balsamic but you can also use regular balsamic vinegar. I happened to have the fig flavored one on hand from a trip to the Crushed Olive! Let this marinate several hours and then top it with some lemon slices and parsley when serving. Your guess will all beg you for the recipe!
