Anyone have a good chicken marinade recipe?

I'm cooking tonight :( I want to make a chicken marinade because I've got the whole day off (hooray) and have the time....anyone have a good recipe?Anyone have a good chicken marinade recipe?
Here are some suggestions for you, hope they work out and you have a great meal!








Grilled Citrus Chicken Under a Brick





This is a traditional Tuscan method鈥攂ricks weigh down the butterflied chicken, resulting in even, quick cooking and crispy skin (you'll need two bricks for this recipe; wrap them in foil). If you don't have bricks, a cast-iron skillet will do the trick. Ask your butcher to butterfly the chicken for you.





Ingredients:





1 cup fresh orange juice


1/3 cup fresh lime juice


1/4 cup fresh lemon juice


2 tablespoons olive oil


1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh oregano


3 teaspoons salt, divided


2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh rosemary


1 garlic clove, chopped


1 whole chicken (about 33/4 pounds), neck and giblets removed, butterflied


1 teaspoon Hungarian sweet paprika


1 teaspoon black pepper


Nonstick vegetable oil spray


1 1/2 oranges


2 foil-wrapped bricks or 1 cast-iron skillet





Preparation:





Whisk juices, olive oil, oregano, 1 teaspoon salt, rosemary, and garlic in glass baking dish. Add chicken to marinade. Turn to coat; chill 2 hours, turning occasionally. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Keep chilled.





Mix remaining 2 teaspoons salt, paprika, and pepper in small bowl.





Spray grill rack with nonstick spray. Prepare barbecue (medium heat). Slice 1/2 orange into 1/4- to 1/8-inch-thick slices. Remove chicken from marinade; pat dry. Loosen skin from chicken breast and slide 1 to 2 orange slices between skin and breast. Loosen skin from thighs and slide 1 to 2 orange slices between skin and thighs. Rub paprika mixture over both sides of chicken. Place chicken, skin side down, on grill. Place foil-wrapped bricks or cast-iron skillet atop chicken (if using bricks, position 1 brick over top half of chicken and 1 brick over bottom half). Cover and grill until skin is crispy and brown, about 15 minutes. Remove bricks or skillet. Using tongs or 2 large spatulas, turn chicken. Replace bricks or skillet and cook, covered, until chicken is cooked through, about 20 minutes longer. Let chicken rest 10 minutes.





Meanwhile, place whole orange on grill and cook until slightly charred, turning often, about 1 minute. Cut into wedges and serve alongside for squeezing over chicken. Makes 4 servings.

Rosemary Chicken Breasts





Prep: 10 minutes


Marinate: 30 minutes


Cook: 8 to 10 minutes


Serves: 4





4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts


5 cloves garlic, minced


2 tablespoons minced fresh rosemary (or 1 teaspoon dried)


1 tablespoon Dijon mustard


1 tablespoon lemon juice


陆 teaspoon salt


录 teaspoon freshly-ground black pepper


2 tablespoons olive oil





1. Prepare a hot fire. Rinse chicken with cold water and pat dry; place in a glass baking dish. In small bowl, mix together garlic, rosemary, mustard, lemon juice, salt pepper and olive oil until well blended. Pour over chicken breasts and turn to coat well. Cover and marinate at room temperature, turning once or twice, for 30 minutes. (if you want to marinate longer, place the dish in the refrigerator)





2. Remove chicken breasts from marinade and place on oiled grill set 4 to 6 inches from coals or heat source. Grill chicken, turning once and basting with reserved marinade, until chicken is white throughout but still juicy, 8 to 10 minutes.





Personal note: I like to cook these longer, until the marinade becomes caramelized.
I have a very simple.. but beautiful recipe.





All need is a bottle of masterfoods Worcestershire Sauce (looks like a BBQ sauce bottle) and a botte of Masterfoods Sweet Chilli Sauce( also is the same bottle but orange.)





All you need to do is add 50-100ml of Worcestershire sauce and 25-50ml of sweet chilli sauce into a bowl and add salt and pepper to season. Soak the chicken in the marinade and then cook the chicken Add the excess sauce while cooking and make the left over sauce from the pan into a gravy.. ENJOY!~!!
This is my latest favorite chicken marinade, and it's not even meant for chicken! The recipe is for marinated mushrooms, and I followed this recipe as is for a party. The mushrooms were delicious and were gobbled right up, and I decided to use the leftover marinade (there was quite a bit of it) for chicken!





I just stuck a couple chicken breasts in a bag, poured the marinade over it, and let it sit for 24 hours. I'm sure you could shorten this time if you wish.





Here's the recipe:

Here's how I cooked it:





Lightly coat a cast iron skillet just big enough for what you're making with olive oil. Pour the chicken and all marinade in and braise on med-low heat so that your marinade is simmering. Cook until most of the marinade is gone. Your chicken will be moist and SO yummy!
2 tbs olive oil.


1/2 tsp sesame oil.


2 tbs light soy sauce.


The juice of one lemon.


1 tbs honey.


1 or 2 cloves garlic crushed.


1 or 2 hot chillies (optional)


A crack of black pepper.


A little sea salt while cooking.





Marinade for about 2 hours.
Italian dressing is awesome for a marinade, esp if your grilling,
