SWEET AND TANGY MARINADE

This marinade makes enough for up to 6 lbs of ribs, or a whole small chicken. There is no oil in it to add to the fat from the meat. You could also marinate fish or vegetables in it, the acid would probably 'cook' the fish a little. (Be sure to follow safe handling rules and never consume raw marinade that has had uncooked meat or fish in it.) I used this to flavour some pork ribs that I then braised in the oven in a cast iron Dutch oven, sprinkled with a little more 'Brownulated' sugar to make a crunchy crust.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: For best results, use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs. If you're using chicken breasts, slice them into thin strips before marinating.
  • Make sure the marinade is flavorful: The marinade is what gives the chicken its flavor, so make sure it's packed with flavor. Use a variety of spices, herbs, and citrus juices.
  • Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes: The longer the chicken marinates, the more flavor it will absorb. If you're short on time, you can marinate the chicken for as little as 15 minutes, but the flavor will be less pronounced.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat: This will help to prevent the chicken from drying out.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken is cooked through when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Overcooking will make the chicken dry and tough.

Conclusion:

Sweet and tangy chicken is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as an appetizer, main course, or side dish. It's perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. With a few simple tips, you can make sure your sweet and tangy chicken is always a hit.
