EGYPTIAN GRILLED CHICKEN

This recipe is extremely simple to prepare. However, in order to achieve a perfect result, I recommend that you marinate the chicken for 24 hours. It really does make a difference to the flavour. This chicken dish is lovely served with rice and a spinach yoghurt salad.Borani Esfenaj.

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

500 g chicken breast fillets
4 garlic cloves (crushed)
1 cup olive oil
1 cup fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
2 teaspoons dried oregano
salt and black pepper

Steps:

  • Wash the chicken fillets well and dry with kitchen towel.
  • Whisk all marinade ingredients together.
  • Place chicken in a glass dish, pour over marinade & ensure each piece is coated in the marinade.
  • Cover glass dish with cling film & leave to marinate for as long as possible in refrigerator.
  • It is best to begin preparation for this dish the day before in order to obtain the best result.

  • Allow it to sit for 15 minutes at room temperature.
  • Pre-heat grill and place fillets on the grill pan, brushing with remainder of marinade.

  • If chicken browns too soon reduce grill heat to moderate.

Tips:

  • When choosing meat for your marinade, look for cuts that are flavorful and have a good amount of marbling. This will help the marinade penetrate the meat and create a delicious, juicy dish.
  • Make sure to use fresh herbs and spices in your marinade. Dried herbs and spices can be used, but they will not have the same flavor as fresh ones.
  • Allow the meat to marinate for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than 24 hours. Marinating the meat for too long can make it tough.
  • If you are using a marinade that contains acidic ingredients, such as lemon juice or vinegar, be sure to add some oil to the marinade as well. This will help to prevent the acid from toughening the meat.
  • When cooking the meat, be sure to cook it over medium heat so that the marinade has time to penetrate the meat and create a flavorful dish.

Conclusion:

Egyptian marinades are a delicious and easy way to add flavor to your favorite dishes. With a variety of flavors to choose from, there is sure to be an Egyptian marinade that you will love. So next time you are looking for a new way to cook your meat, try using an Egyptian marinade.
