Overnight Marinade For Chicken Food

ASIAN CHICKEN (ASIAN MARINADE)

Steps:

• Mix Marinade ingredients together. Add chicken and mix to coat. Marinade in the fridge for a minimum of 1 hour or up to overnight.
• Heat oil in a large non stick skillet or BBQ over medium high heat. (See notes for other cooking methods) Add chicken and cook until each side is dark golden brown and chicken is cooked through (about 3 minutes each side). Transfer to plate, cover loosely with foil and rest for 3 minutes.
• Garnish with chillies, shallots and sesame seeds if desired. Serve with white rice and slices of cucumber.

CHICKEN MARINADE

Steps:

• If making chicken breasts, place them on a cutting board, cover with plastic wrap, and with a meat mallet or rolling pin, pound into an even thickness. (If using tenders or thighs, you can skip the pounding).
• With a fork, poke holes all over the chicken (this will allow the marinade to absorb).
• In a large ziptop bag, combine the garlic, lemon zest and juice, olive oil, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper.
• Add the chicken. Seal the bag, removing as much excess air as possible.
• "Squish" the bag to coat the chicken, then place the bag on a plate or inside a shallow baking dish to guard against leaks.
• Marinate the chicken at room temperature for 15 to 30 minutes (the longer the better), or refrigerate for up to 12 hours (I find about 5 to 6 hours is ideal-since this is a small amount of lemon juice, you can push to 24 hours if absolutely necessary). Do not let marinade for longer, or the meat will start to break down. Let the chicken stand at room temperature for 15 minutes prior to cooking.
• When ready to cook: Preheat your grill to medium high (425 to 450 degrees F) or preheat your oven to 425 degrees F. Remove the chicken from the marinade, shaking off any excess.
• To grill: cook chicken over high heat until charred in spots and the internal temperature reaches 160 to 165 degrees F on an instant read thermometer, flipping halfway through, about 8 to 12 minutes total for breasts or thighs or 4 to 8 minutes for tenders. Do not overcook!
• To bake: Arrange the chicken in a single layer in a foil- or parchment-lined baking dish large enough to hold it comfortably without the chicken touching. Bake the chicken until it reaches 160 F to 165 degrees F on an instant read thermometer inserted at the thickest part. Don't overcook! For breasts you will need about 14 to 16 minutes (for small/medium breasts that are about 6 to 7 ounces), 16 to 20 minutes (for medium/large breasts that are 8 to 10 ounces), or 20 to 25 minutes (for larger breasts). Bake thighs or tenders for 15 to 20 minutes.
• Remove the chicken to a plate and cover. Let rest for at least 5 minutes. Serve!

• When ready to grill. Using a tong, remove chicken from the sauce and discard any excess marinate.
• Preheat grill to medium- high heat.
• Place chicken on the grill and grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until you have a nice char - you may need to turn the chicken occasionally on each side until it is cooked all the way. Do this in batches if you have a small grill. Do not overcook chicken. Remove from grill (or grill pan).
• Let it rest for 5 minutes, then serve immediately.

KILLER CHICKEN THIGH MARINADE

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients for the marinade together in a large bowl or a plastic Ziploc bag. Add the chicken and make sure that every piece is covered evenly. Marinate in a fridge for at least 30 minutes to 2 hours or, better yet, overnight.
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
• Place the chicken and all of the marinade in a baking dish. Bake uncovered at 450 degrees F for 25-30 minutes with the skin side up, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. To make sure the chicken tops are nicely browned and do not dry out, baste the chicken thighs in the juices and marinade about 15-20 minutes into baking.
• To get a nicely browned, crisped up skin, turn on the broiler for 2-3 minutes when the thighs are almost done cooking. Monitor broiling very closely as the tops may burn if broiled for too long.

BBQ CHICKEN MARINADE

Refrigerate for 2 hours or freeze up to 1 month; defrost in the refrigerator overnight before cooking.
• To cook: Remove the chicken from the bag and grill over indirect heat, covered, until cooked through, lightly charred and an instant-read thermometer registers 165 degrees F, 20 to 25 minutes.

HOW TO MARINATE CHICKEN: FLAVORFUL RECIPES AND COOKING TIPS

Steps:

• Blend all of your marinade ingredients to get a thick liquid. It's hard for the flavor of chunky ingredients to penetrate meat, so it's important to blend them into a liquid marinade. If you don't have a blender, put all of the ingredients for your marinade into a food processor and combine them until they're smooth. If your marinade recipe only calls for liquid ingredients and dry seasonings, feel free to skip the blender. Put all of the ingredients into a jar with a tight-fitting lid and shake until the marinade is combined.
• Customize your marinade if you want to adjust the flavors. The beauty of marinades is that you can substitute many ingredients as long as they serve the same purpose. For instance, if you don't want to use lemon juice, choose another acidic ingredient like vinegar or lime juice. Here are some categories of marinade ingredients that are easy to swap for one another: Acidic ingredients: citrus juice of any kind (lemon, lime, grapefruit, orange), vinegar (white wine, red wine, apple cider, balsamic) Oils: olive oil, grapeseed oil, toasted sesame oil, avocado oil Sweeteners: brown sugar, molasses, maple syrup, honey, jam, ketchup, soda Seasonings: herb mixes, miso paste, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, ginger, shallots
• Use the marinade immediately or store it in the fridge for up to 1 week. If you want to get a little prep work out of the way but you're not ready to marinate the chicken, you can make the marinade up to 1 week in advance!If you want to baste the meat with marinade as it cooks, set aside a small bowl to use during cooking. For long-term storage, put the marinade into a freezer-safe container and freeze it for up to 3 months. Don't forget to label it or you may not remember what you're looking at!
