EASY BBQ CHICKEN MARINADE



Easy Bbq Chicken Marinade image

Came up with this one on the fly. This quantity of ingredients will be sufficient marinade for 4 drumsticks. I like to use zipper-seal bags for marinating because the air can be removed so that the meat is surrounded by marinade, which means I can throw it into the fridge and forget about it until cooking time. I get a nice, even marinade on every piece without any extra fuss. Plus, it is one less dish to wash after.

TANGY CHICKEN BBQ MARINADE



TANGY CHICKEN BBQ MARINADE image

Categories     Chicken     Low Carb     Grill/Barbecue

Yield depends on how many chickens you cook

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 egg, well beaten
1/2 cup olive oil
1 cup apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoons of salt
4 cloves of garlic, minced
2 tablespoons of the following fresh herbs, chopped fine:
rosemary
sage
parsley
thyme
1/2 tsp fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Put cut up chicken in a deep bowl. Cover with marinade. Let the chicken marinade for up to 2 hours. Turn pieces ocassionally so that all pieces get evenly marinaded. Don't marinade for longer than 2 hours, because the chicken will get too tangy (unless you like really tangy chicken). Remove from the bowl when ready to grill, shaking off as much of the oil as you can. Grill on a BBQ over evenly hot coals, but watch for flaring because the oil dripping on the coals can cause a problem with that.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: Bone-in, skin-on chicken pieces are best for this marinade, as they will stay moist and flavorful during cooking.
  • Make sure the chicken is fully coated in the marinade: Use a large bowl or resealable plastic bag to marinate the chicken, and make sure that all of the pieces are evenly coated in the marinade.
  • Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than 24 hours: The longer the chicken marinates, the more flavorful it will be. However, if you marinate the chicken for too long, the acids in the marinade can start to break down the proteins in the chicken, making it tough.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat: This will help to prevent the chicken from drying out.
  • Baste the chicken with the marinade while it is cooking: This will help to keep the chicken moist and flavorful.

Conclusion:

This BBQ chicken marinade is a delicious and easy way to add flavor to your chicken. It is perfect for grilling, baking, or roasting. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a marinade that will make your chicken the star of the show. So next time you are looking for a flavorful and easy way to cook chicken, give this BBQ chicken marinade a try. You won't be disappointed!
