SPICY GRILLING MARINADE FOR CHICKEN AND SEAFOOD



Spicy Grilling Marinade for Chicken and Seafood image

Nice easy marinade. Toss the food to be marinated in the mixture, mix well and refrigerate for 2-24 hours. TIP: Here is a trick I like to use for whenever I buy meats, or poultry that I intend on freezing. I like to buy in bulk, but since I usually only make dinners for two I freeze the meat in ziplock bags. For example you can usually fit 1-2 chicken breasts in a ziplock bag. I put these bags in the freezer and when I want to use them I can grab the serving size I need without having to pry the meat apart. The best part of this ziplock bag method is it makes it so easy to marinate! Just take out a bag before going to work, add your favorite marinade to the bag and put the sealed bag in the fridge. When you get home from work it is ready to cook!

Categories     Chicken

Time 3h45m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 tablespoon cumin seed
1 tablespoon coriander seed
2 tablespoons green peppercorns (or black)
1 tablespoon ground cardamom
1 cup fresh parsley leaves, and tender stems
1 cup mint leaf
1 cup oregano leaves
5 garlic cloves
2 fresno chilies, chopped
1/3 cup kosher salt
1 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil, divided
whole chicken, halved
1 cup castelvetrano olive, or other green olives, pitted, torn
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
3/4 cup chopped parsley, plus leaves for serving

Steps:

  • Puree cumin, coriander, peppercorn and cardamom in a blender until very fine. Add parsley, mint, oregano, garlic, fresno, salt, vinegar and ¼ cup oil and puree until a thick pesto like paste forms. Place chicken in a large resealable plastic bag and pour in marinade. Seal bag, pressing out any air. Chill at least 3 hours and up to 24.
  • Prepare a grill for medium-high, indirect heat (for a charcoal grill, bank coals on one side of grill; for a gas grill, leave one or two burners off). Thoroughly clean grates and brush with oil. Set chickens, skin side up, on grate over indirect heat. Cover grill, placing cover vent (if your grill has one) over chickens so it draws heat up and over them. Grill, rotating chickens as needed so that they color evenly, until skins are lightly browned, 15-20 minutes.
  • Turn chickens and continue to cook, covered, until skins are deep golden brown and crisp and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of breasts registers 160°, 20-25 minutes. Transfer chickens to a cutting board and let rest at least 10 minutes before carving.
  • Mix olives, lemon juice, chopped parsley, remaining ¼ cup oil, and any accumulated juices from chicken on the cutting board in a medium bowl. Season with salt.
  • To serve, arrange carved chickens on a platter and top with olive mixture and parsley leaves.

1 cup soy sauce
1 cup distilled white vinegar
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup minced onion (about 1 medium)

Grill, covered, turning once, until chicken registers 165°F, 22 to 25 minutes. (Chicken may appear pale; no cause for worry.)
  • Brush generously all over with some of sauce, then move chicken directly over coals (turned-on burners if using gas). Grill chicken, covered, turning and moving to area with no coals or heat underneath if flare-ups occur, until browned, 3 to 5 minutes more. (Add more charcoal during grilling if necessary to maintain heat.)
  • Serve chicken with reserved sauce.
