Marinades for chicken

[hardy49]

We are having a barbecue on Saturday and I wondered if anyone had a recipe for some easy (!!) marinades to make the chicken breasts more exciting

[Nosy Rosy]

235ml Lemon Juice
30 ml Olive Oil
80 ml Red wine vinegar
Pinch Dried Thyme
Pinch Dried Oregano
Pinch Black Pepper
Pinch Salt
Garlic Clove finely chopped

Mix together and fridge for at least an hour before using & if you want to spice it up a bit add a pinch of chilli powder - have a lovely day!

I always make it up as I go along but always include
Honey, olive oil, tomato sauce, brown or bbq sauce, worcester sauce, then add either cajun or chinese 5 spices. It always tastes great.
Just raid the store cupboard throw it together I guarantee it'll be great. Mine is never the same twice but always tasty.

I just use Piri Piri spice pwder,also comes in liquid form,guaranteed to spice up the chicken

Roughly chop some garlic cloves, sprinkle sea salt on and mix the salt into the garlic pieces, then grind it against the board with the flat of your knife - this will make a nice paste. Mix this into olive oil with lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, black pepper and chopped sprigs of rosemary, thyme & oregano (or any combo of those).

Or: veg/rapeseed oil and the garlic with lime juice, fennel seeds, cumin seeds, black pepper and chilli flakes (or chopped fresh chilli, seeds in).

By the way, chicken thighs are much, much tastier - and cheaper - than breasts, and better suited to barbecuing.
