WORLD'S BEST CHICKEN MARINADE

I came up with this a few years ago and always receive rave reviews. The heat of your chicken really depends on your brand of hot sauce, so use your discretion. I've also found that each brand of garlic salt has its own level of saltiness, so please use caution here as well. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken. Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs for best results.
  • Use a flavorful marinade. The marinade is what gives the chicken its flavor, so be sure to use a flavorful one. There are many different marinade recipes to choose from, so find one that you like and that you think will complement the chicken.
  • Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes. The longer you marinate the chicken, the more flavor it will absorb. If you're short on time, you can marinate the chicken for as little as 30 minutes, but the longer you marinate it, the better.
  • Cook the chicken properly. Be sure to cook the chicken to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. This will ensure that the chicken is safe to eat and that it is cooked through.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving. Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Chicken is a versatile protein that can be cooked in many different ways. By following these tips, you can make sure that your chicken is always flavorful and juicy. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy weeknight meal, give one of these chicken marinade recipes a try.
