EASY BBQ CHICKEN MARINADE



Easy Bbq Chicken Marinade image

Came up with this one on the fly. This quantity of ingredients will be sufficient marinade for 4 drumsticks. I like to use zipper-seal bags for marinating because the air can be removed so that the meat is surrounded by marinade, which means I can throw it into the fridge and forget about it until cooking time. I get a nice, even marinade on every piece without any extra fuss. Plus, it is one less dish to wash after.

Tips for the Best BBQ Chicken Marinade

  • Use a variety of liquids. Different liquids, such as oil, vinegar, and yogurt, can contribute different flavors and textures to your marinade. Experiment with different combinations to find your favorite.
  • Add some herbs and spices. Herbs and spices can add a lot of flavor to your marinade. Some popular choices include garlic, onion, paprika, cumin, and chili powder.
  • Don't forget the salt. Salt is an essential ingredient in any marinade. It helps to tenderize the chicken and bring out the flavors of the other ingredients.
  • Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than 24 hours. The longer the chicken marinates, the more flavor it will absorb. However, marinating the chicken for too long can make it tough.
  • Be sure to discard the marinade after use. The marinade can contain harmful bacteria that can make you sick. Never reuse it.
  • When cooking the chicken, be sure to grill or bake it over medium heat. This will help to prevent the chicken from drying out.

Conclusion

BBQ chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for summer cookouts. By following these tips, you can make sure that your BBQ chicken is flavorful and juicy. So fire up the grill and get cooking!
