FINGER-LICKING CHICKEN MARINADE



Finger-Licking Chicken Marinade image

A wonderful marinade for chicken. If you don't have Miracle Whip, mayonnaise may be substituted. I usually marinate chicken in the marinade at least 30 minutes before cooking. However, I once took chicken sitting in the marinade to a cook-out, and other people there who had brought their own chicken started dipping their chicken in my left-over marinade to coat, then barbecuing right away without waiting for it to marinate. It was still delicious! I've found I can coat over a dozen chicken pieces with a single recipe of the marinade. These days I make this without the Tbs of salt when making it just for myself, but people's tolerance for low salt varies widely and so I've posted it the way I've found suits most people best. I'd say be guided by your own tastes when it comes to amount of salt used.

FINGER LICKIN' GOOD CHICKEN MARINADE



Finger Lickin' Good Chicken Marinade image

I got the recipe for this incredibly tasty marinade from a neighbor at a cookout 17 years ago. I haven't found a better marinade for my chicken since then! I use it in baking chicken, but I mostly use it to grill chicken sandwiches, topped with Muenster cheese on a grilled Kaiser roll. Yummy!

Categories     Sauces

Time 40m

Yield 1 small sauce pan full

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 white onion
3 cloves garlic
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 2/3 cups ketchup
1/2 cup white vinegar
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons chili powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

  • Put olive oil in a sauce pan on medium heat and cook onion and garlic until they are soft.
  • Then add the white vinegar, ketchup, brown sugar, worcestershire sauce, chili powder, and cayenne pepper.
  • Let this simmer for 30 minutes.

Tips:

- Experiment with different marinades: The article provides three distinct marinade recipes, but you can also create your own custom marinade by combining different herbs, spices, and liquids. Marinating times can vary depending on the marinade used and the type of chicken, but generally, the longer you marinate, the more flavorful the chicken will be. - Use quality ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will result in a more flavorful marinade. Make sure to use fresh herbs and spices, and choose a good quality oil for the marinade. - Don't overcook the chicken: Overcooked chicken is dry and tough. Cook the chicken until it is cooked through but still juicy. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C) when measured with a meat thermometer. - Let the chicken rest before serving: Letting the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chicken.

Conclusion:

These finger-licking chicken marinade recipes are a great way to add flavor and moisture to your chicken dishes. With a variety of flavor combinations to choose from, you're sure to find a marinade that you and your family will love. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy way to cook chicken, give one of these marinades a try. You won't be disappointed!
