Ingredients
- 4 garlic cloves , finely chopped
- 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh oregano , or tarragon leaves
- 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh basil leaves
- 1 cup apple juice

Pushing chicken down into marinade, squeeze out as much air as possible and tightly seal with an elastic band. Place in a bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours but preferably overnight.
