Marinades vs. Dry Rubs
When it comes to flavoring chicken, both marinades and dry rubs have their place, but marinades like this Worcestershire and teriyaki blend offer something special. The acid in the Worcestershire sauce helps tenderize the chicken, while the sugars in the teriyaki caramelize beautifully on the grill, delivering a sticky-sweet, savory bite. Unlike dry rubs, which primarily season the exterior, marinades work their way deeper into the meat, infusing each bite with bold flavor. For cuts like boneless chicken thighs that are already tender and juicy, marinades offer the perfect flavor boost without sacrificing texture.

What to Pair It With
