My chicken marinade recipe will make your chicken succulent and so juicy. Many different flavor ideas below to make boring chicken come to life.
If you get bored to the same old chicken, I've got some great ideas for marinades that bring out wonderful flavor and juicy results. Great for chicken on the grill and even in the oven.
JAMAICAN JERK MARINADE
1 onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup finely chopped scallion
2 tsp fresh thyme leaves
1 tsp salt
2 tsp sugar
1 tsp ground Jamaican pimento (allspice)
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 hot pepper, finely ground
1 tsp ground black pepper
3 TBS homemade soy sauce
1 TBS olive oil
1 TBS cider or white vinegar
For the marinade: mix together onion, scallion, thyme, salt, sugar, allspice, nutmeg, cinnamon, hot pepper, black pepper, soy sauce, oil and vinegar. These ingredients can also be combined in a food processor.
Skewer 2 1/2 ounces of chicken onto each skewer, or place chicken pieces in a shallow baking dish and cover with the marinade. Marinate in the refrigerator overnight.
CITRUS CHICKEN MARINADE RECIPE
1/2 cup orange juice (juice of 1 orange)
1/2 cup lemon juice (juice of 2 lemons)
1/4 tsp rubbed sage or several leaves fresh, chopped
1 1/2 inch section fresh ginger, peeled, minced
1 TBS homemade soy sauce
3 cloves garlic, minced
a few drops
homemade hot sauce
Combine ingredients (a blender makes a good emulsion and eliminates the
need to mince or chop). Marinate cut chicken pieces in a Ziploc bag for
several hours or overnight. Broil or grill until chicken until done
using your preferred cooking method.
This is a fast and easy chicken marinade recipe. It also works wonderfully with steak. Or make my homemade Italian dressing, and go from there.
ITALIAN DRESSING MARINADE
1 bottle of Kraft Italian Dressing
1 TBS
homemade Dijon mustard, optional
1/4 cup olive oil
3 TBS garlic, minced (or to taste)
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl. Add the chicken pieces
and marinade for six hours. When ready to grill, remove the chicken
from the marinade and pat dry.
AWESOME GRILLED CHICKEN MARINADE RECIPE
1/4 cup
homemade cider vinegar
2 TBS
homemade mustard
1 TBS
homemade Dijon mustard
3 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
3/4 cup
homemade brown sugar, packed
3 TBS honey
1-1/2 tsp salt
ground black pepper to taste
6 TBS olive oil
6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
In a large glass bowl, mix the cider vinegar, mustard, garlic, lime
juice, lemon juice, brown sugar, salt, and pepper. Whisk in the olive
oil. Place chicken in the mixture. Cover, and marinate 8 hours, or
overnight.
Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat. Lightly oil the grill
grate. Place chicken on the prepared grill, and cook 6 to 8 minutes per
side, until juices run clear.
TERIYAKI CHICKEN MARINADE RECIPE
This is an old way of making a teriyaki sauce with honey instead of
sugar, giving it a more pleasing sweetness. You may also use it as a
dipping sauce.
1 tsp ground ginger
1/3 cup
homemade soy sauce
1/4 cup honey
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp grated onions
1/2 cup water
Blend ginger, soy sauce, honey, garlic, and onion in a bowl.
Add meat to marinade for at least one hour or refrigerate meat in marinade overnight.
After marinating meat, drain the marinade and add it to a 1/2 cup
of water. Bring it to a boil for 3-5 minutes and use it for a meat
dipping sauce during the meal. Excellent for pork, beef or chicken.
