plate lickin’ essentials: awesome chicken marinade

How To Make plate lickin’ essentials: awesome chicken marinade

• 
  Step 1
  PREP/PREPARE
• 
  Step 2
  You will need a saucepan to cook the marinade, and a non-reactive (glass) container to store it.
• 
  Step 3
  This recipe will easily marinate 6 good sized chicken breasts, or 8 chicken thighs. Skinless and boneless is the way to go with most marinades.
• 
  Step 4
  Storage of homemade condiments and spices Because homemade spices and condiments do not contain any preservatives, it is important to store them properly. Non-reactive (glass) containers with tight-fitting lids are a must. If I am making a dry spice, I love to use old spice bottles that I have run through the dishwasher. If I am doing homemade sauces, I love using Weck jars. They are all glass, come in all sizes and shapes, and have excellent leakproof lids. If you shop online, you can go to Amazon, and type in “Weck Jars” and you will find a ton of them. Dry spices should be kept in a cool space, away from sunlight (spice cabinet), and sauces, in most cases, should be stored in the fridge. If properly stored, this marinade should last 2 weeks, or a bit more.

  Step 6
  Gather your ingredients (mise en place).

  Step 7
  Add the ingredients together in a small saucepan over medium heat.
• 
  Step 8
  Whisk together until it begins to simmer and continue to simmer for 2 – 3 minutes.
• 
  Step 9
  Remove from the heat, allow to cool, then place into a sealed, non-reactive (glass) container in the fridge until ready to use.
• 
  Step 10
  It will last 12 – 14 days. You can still use it for another week; however, the flavor will begin to diminish.
• 
  Step 11
  When using, immerse the chicken in the marinade, and refrigerate for 8 hours, better yet how about overnight.
• 
  Step 12
  As you can see I am pan frying today. Medium heat in a grill pan, flip a few times to get those nice grill marks brush with the marinade a few times as it cooks. In addition, you can open grill them, or oven bake.
• 
  Step 13
  Let rest about 5 minutes before slicing.
• 
  Step 14
  While the chicken is resting, throw the leftover marinade into a saucepan, over medium-high heat and reduce until thickened. Then spoon that over the chicken before serving.
