MARINADE FOR BBQ CHICKEN RECIPES

Steps:

• 1. If barbecuing, light the grill now so the flames have died down and it’s ready when you’re ready to cook.
  2. Finely grate the orange zest into a shallow bowl. Crumble in the dried chilli. Add the paprika, mustard, honey, ketchup and a splash of olive oil.
  3. Season with a small pinch of salt and pepper and mix well. Spoon out a few tablespoons of the marinade and set it aside.
  4. Add the chicken breasts to the bowl with the remaining marinade. Turn them over in the marinade so they’re well coated, cover with clingfilm and leave to sit for 5 to 10 minutes or until the grill is ready.
  5. If using a griddle pan, put it over high heat now to get it screaming hot.
  6. Use tongs to transfer your chicken breasts onto the grill or griddle pan. For chicken breasts approximately 2cm thick, cook for about 5 minutes on each side, turning every minute and basting as you go, or until golden and cooked through.
  7. Spoon a little of the reserved sauce over each breast.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a large ziplock bag.
• Add chicken to the bag and place the closed ziplock bag in a large bowl and put in the fridge. (The bowl will keep it from making a huge mess in case the bag leaks)
• Marinade for at least 8 hours or overnight and grill! Enjoy!
• (I do not add any extra salt to my chicken marinade because salt will dry the chicken out. ALWAYS salt the chicken AFTER you grill it to ensure. It will need a good bit of salt after it is done)
