1/4 cup Light Brown Sugar, lightly packed
1 Tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce

In a large plastic sealable container, stir together oil, lemon juice, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, and pepper.
Use a fork to pierce each piece of chicken multiple times, all over.
