Answer 1

Chicken Marinade

A very good marinade for broiled or grilled chicken.
INGREDIENTS:
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup lemon juice
2 tablespoons minced onion
dash salt and pepper
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, or 1 teaspoon dried parsley
PREPARATION:
Mix all ingredients. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes before using. For grilled or broiled chicken, pour marinade over 2 to 3 pounds of chicken pieces; refrigerate for 4 hours or more. Do not re-use marinade.

Lemon Pepper Marinade

use the marinade on almost all meats and fish.. however Alaskan Coho Salmon is especially nice with this marinde! My husband really likes the Salmon but enjoys boneless, skinless chicken breasts as much!

INGREDIENTS:
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 small onion, finely minced
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
fresh course ground black pepper, to taste
grated zest of one lemon
PREPARATION:
Mix all the ingredients and use the marinade immediately with meat or fish in your choice of a zip-lock plastic bag or container. Cover or seal and marinate in refrigerator. Use this as a basting sauce as well, but bring to a rolling boil before using after using as a marinade.
With or without marinading first, you will find that if you are grilling, this works best for most fish. (Note: if you want to add a sweeter caramelizing effect. Add 1-2 tablespoons of orange blossom (or clover is alright) honey to the marinade recipe

Answer 3

One of the best ways to prepare any poultry is to soak it in a brine for at least 24 hours before cooking it. If you have the time for this preparation, it is completely worth it.

You don't need anything more than the salt, stock, and water, but everything you add makes it just a bit more flavorful:

1 cup kosher salt
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1 gallon vegetable stock
1 tablespoon black peppercorns
1/2 tablespoon allspice berries
1/2 tablespoon candied ginger
1 gallon iced water

Cook ingredients (except water) in a large pot until everything is dissolved. Let it cool and then add the ice water. Put your poultry in the liquid for 24 to 72 hours -(keep refrigerated!

Answer 4

The marinade I use is simple but tasty. Soy Sauce, Black Pepper, Lemon, Sliced Onions, Seame Oil, Honey, and any Hickory Bar-B-Q sauce and lots of minced garlic. The amount depends on how much chicken you want to grill, Taste the marinade to ensure that it taste good to you. Because if it taste good to you, chances are people will like it too. Marinade your chicken overnite prior to grilling, and then enjoy.

Answer 5

1/2 cup orange juice, 2 tablespoons white vinegar, pinch of salt, white pepper, cayenne pepper, 1 tablespoon brown sugar and 1 tablespoon soy sauce.
Marinate for 2-6 hours in the fridge. It gives a nice citrus glaze when you grill the chicken :)

Answer 6

Cheap and somewhat easy stir-fry chicken. Cut up some cooked chicken breast. Cut up green peppers or some other color for looks, orange and yellow always look nice. A dash of garlic. Half a white onion. Dice all the vegetables, then put the chicken and vegetables in a skillet or wok if you have one. Pour a little olive oil and stir over medium to high heat. You want to heat the ingredients but not cook them till they're limp. Optional, serve over rice. ----------------------------------- Spaghetti, but use colored pasta or some other interesting pasta. Spaghetti sauce of your choice, maybe the four-cheese flavored ones by Classico. Brown some ground sirloin. Squeeze the meat into little balls, it's a little time consuming, but it's worth it. Serve the sauce and meat over cooked pasta. And as always, Enjoy!

Answer 7

I like this for chicken and for pork
2 tbsp dijon mustard
1 tsp Rosemary
1/2 tsp Thyme
1/4 tsp Pepper
fresh grated ginger

I slather this on and put it into the fridge for a few hours and then grill or bake.

Answer 8

this is SO easy and really good. All you do is mix soy sauce and honey together. you must mix it up pretty well. when you can taste more honey than anything, then it is good. marinade at least over nite making sure to rotate bag at least once and massage into chicken. cut the chicken into smaller pieces and cook for kabobs, i think it tastes better

Answer 9

Have you tried the new A-1 marinades? The Cajun one is absolutely wonderful.

Answer 10

Garlic, adobo Goya with orange flavor, and Knorr's Sazón with Culantro and achiote. It gives the chicken this nice orange color. Marinate for 3 hours. You can grill it, but you can also fry it. Delicious!!!
Try it with a side of fried green plantains topped with garlic mayo-ketchup.
