Many of us have been at home for months now, and we've mastered the art of multitasking- homeschooling, housework, searching for paper products, cooking and attending endless Zoom meetings.....
Zoom meetings where we've had to endure quarantine hair and ALL of the endless Zoom backgrounds...
Let's celebrate all of our hard work and patience with delicious food. This grilled chicken marinade recipe from Modernhoney has got us covered. It's called, "The Best Chicken Marinade" which made me want to review it. Is it the best? Yes. And I wouldn't say that lightly. I did add a little twist to it, which I will tell you about in a moment.
For the marinade you will need: 2 lbs. chicken breast tenders or thighs, 1/3 - 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil, 3 Tbs. lemon juice, 3 Tbs. soy sauce, 2 Tbs. balsamic vinegar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 Tbs. worcestershire sauce, 3 garlic cloves (minced) or 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 1/2 tsp. salt, 1 tsp. pepper, a few dashes of Johnny's seasoning salt, bbq sauce (for basting on the grill) & fresh parsley for garnish.
If you're extra talented, you could try putting the marinade together during your Zoom meeting. No one will notice. Mix the ingredients in a bowl. Pierce the chicken all over with a fork. (I used about 4 thighs and 6 drumsticks). Pour the marinade over the chicken in a large Ziploc bag. It's supposed to marinate for at least 30 min. in the fridge, however, I let mine soak for a full 5 hours.
Get your grill ready- preheat it to medium heat. You can brush some oil on the grill to prevent the chicken from sticking. Throw your chicken on the grill, and cook it for 5-6 minutes on each side. Time for a little dance- turn off Zoom first!
Ok, here comes my secret ingredient which takes this recipe to the next level. During the last 2 minutes of cooking, baste the chicken with Sweet Baby Ray's Barbecue Sauce on both sides. When you remove the chicken from the grill, let it rest for 5 minutes.
