Easy Chicken Marinade
people
This Easy Chicken Marinade recipe with a combination of tang and spice will elevate your taste buds and spice up otherwise boring chicken with the perfect balance of zesty orange and fiery ginger.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon orange marmalade
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice about half a lemon
- 1 ½ teaspoons fresh ginger
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1-1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Instructions
- Combine the soy sauce, orange marmalade, lemon juice, ginger and black pepper in a sealable plastic bag. Mix well.
- Place chicken into the plastic bag, seal and allow to marinate for a minimum of 1 hour in the refrigerator.
- Preheat the grill on high.
- Place chicken onto the grill to cook for 3 minutes, covered. Baste the chicken with half of the marinade.
- Monitor the chicken for slight charring / grill lines and when those are visible, turn chicken over and cook on high, covered for an additional 3 minutes. Baste with remaining marinade.
- Reduce grill heat to low and cook for 3 minutes, covered.
- Turn chicken over and cook covered for an additional 3 minutes on low.
- While chicken is cooking.
- Be sure to slice through the chicken to check for doneness. Chicken will be sufficiently cooked when internal temperature reads 165°F with a thermometer.
Notes
- We don't eat much, which is why I only use about 1- ½ lbs. of chicken. If using more, by all means double, triple or even quadruple the recipe.
- Instead of grilling the chicken breasts, you can also broil them, 10 - 15 minutes each side.
