Mesquite Marinade Food

MESQUITE CHICKEN MARINADE

Steps:

• Add oil, mesquite seasoning, lemon juice, salt, and water to a ziplock bag. Close the bag and shake/mix contents.
• Add chicken to bag and reseal. Allow chicken to sit in the marinade for a minimum of 30 minutes, ideally 24 hours.
• Remove chicken from marinade and cook using the desired method. We grilled ours because the smokey flavor of the grill perfectly compliments the flavors in the marinade. Make sure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165F.

MESQUITE GRILLED CHICKEN MARINADE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, salt, pepper, garlic powder, liquid smoke, and Worcestershire sauce.
• Place chicken in a large Ziploc bag. Pour marinade over the top of chicken. Seal and marinade a minimum 2 hours or overnight.
• Once done marinating, grill the chicken until cooked, flipping halfway through. (Be careful. Since there is quite a bit of sugar in the marinade, watch closely so the chicken does not burn.)

MESQUITE CHICKEN

Steps:

• In a large skillet pour in the jar of pineapples with juices and add chicken breast.
• Cook over medium high heat until the breast are no longer pink in the middle. Remove meat from skillet and discard juices.
• Arrange breast in a large casserole. Pour mesquite marinade over all the breasts.
• Evenly divide first mushrooms and then ham onto the top each breast.
• Top each breast with a thick slice of Monterey Jack cheese.
• Bake in oven at 350 degrees about 10 minute or until cheese is melted. (You can also do this step in the microwave. It takes about 2 minutes on high!).

MESQUITE MARINATED FLANK STEAK

Steps:

• Mix Marinade Mix, oil and water in small bowl. Place steak in large resealable plastic bag or glass dish. Add marinade; turn to coat well.
• Refrigerate 30 minutes or longer for extra flavor. Remove steak from marinade. Discard any remaining marinade.
• Grill over medium heat 6 to 8 minutes per side or until desired doneness.

JACK DANIEL'S MARINADE

Steps:

• Combine in saucepan. Bring to boil, then reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes. When it's cool, put in one of your own double-locked gallon sized zip bags so you can throw it away and NO MESS!
• Use to marinate shrimp or scallops for 1 hour or beef, chicken, or pork in the refrigerator overnight. Flip the package over a few times during the marinating time.
• It will do about 2 - 4 medium 1 inch stakes or about 1/2 of a chicken.
• Be careful with shellfish and only marinade for an hour or less, as the taste will take over!
• Use to baste the shellfish or meat as it is grilled or broiled.
• Makes about 2 cups of Marinade.
