Just a great Chicken Marinade

This is just a great everyday Chicken Marinade, one you make with things you've already got with plenty of sub options (see notes). It will make any cut of chicken extra juicy, infuse it with savoury flavour that's a touch of sweet, with a hint of herby goodness. Especially good for chicken breast!

Ingredients

  • 700g / 1.4 lb chicken breast, tenderloins or thigh (Note 1)
  • CHICKEN MARINADE (SUBS NOTE 3):
  • 2 tbsp honey OR brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (or any oil)
  • 5 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 4 garlic cloves , minced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano (or rosemary, thyme, minced herbs)
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper , ground
  • GARNISHES (OPTIONAL)
  • Finely chopped parsley
  • Lemon slices


Instructions


  • Recommended: Pound breast to even thickness using a meat pounder, rolling pin, or fist. OR cut large ones in half horizontally to form 2 cutlets (steaks) for each.
  • Mix marinade in a ziplock bag (or container in which chicken fits snugly). Add chicken.
  • Marinate 3 hours to overnight, though even 30 minutes is effective. (Note 2)
  • Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat, and cook chicken per times below until deep golden (see video). If browning too quickly, lower heat.
  • Transfer to serving plate, cover loosely with foil and rest for 3 minutes before serving, garnished with parsley and lemon slices if desired.
