Random Chicken Marinades

June 10, 2008 3:55 pm admin Poultry, Recipes

Being allergic to soy, I have found that most store-bought marinades are out of my league. If not soy sauce, they’re packed with soybean oil. So to avoid reactions and still have tasty chicken for the grill, I’ve jotted down my favorite ad-hoc marinades. These are meant to be quick and relatively simple to pair with a wide variety of dishes.

Marinade portions are meant for one or two pounds of chicken. Adjust accordingly.

For each I recommend a minimum of two hours sauced in the fridge, but 4-6 allows for even better flavor permeation.

Basic Balsamic
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
4 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp kosher sal

Orange Rosemary
1/2 cup orange juice
2 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp fresh rosemary leaves, coarsely chopped
2 tbsp honey
1/2 tsp kosher salt

Lemon Thyme
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 cloves fresh minced garlic
2 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper

Ginger Sesame
1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
2 tbsp fresh ginger, peeled and minced
2 tsp sesame oil
1/2 tsp kosher salt
