chicken breast marinades

[vmpolesov]

I've tried out a couple flavors of newman's own: lemon pepper and roast garlic. pretty good, and it's great to add some variety.

Our family likes to drizzle some Thai sweet chili sauce on our chicken breasts before closing the lid on the George Foreman grill.



Another thing I will put on before cooking is some buffalo wing sauce, like Durkee's or Frank's. Tastes delicious!

I like to use a equal part cayenne.black pepper,paprika and cumin combined dry rub. Not a big fan of boneless breasts anymore.I find they lack something.I personally enjoy this dry rub on the bone in breasts i buy.

+1.
I thought I was going crazy. We even bought bone-in breasts and made them boneless ourselves at home. Tasted much better than buying boneless at the store.
What is this conspiracy?

1lb chicken
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup of good beer ( Samuel Adams)
spices:
black pepper
sea salt
fresh ground cumin
red pepper flakes
basil
oregano

Rub spices on to chicken then dump the left over in a freezer bag. Ad the wet ingredients and chicken to the freezer bag and let sit at least 1 hour in the fridge.

Fire up the grill on HI! (My temp gets to like 500 to 550 so you may need a few more minutes at the end depending on thickness)

Put chicken on the grill flip after 1 min on each side.
then flip after 2 min on each side
then flip after 3 min on each side.

Test chicken should be done and very juicy.

Enjoy.

I try to find a bbq sauce with the lowest amount of carbs, cut it 50/50 with water, add pepper garlic and onion powder, poured over chicken and put it in the fridge until after work. Then bake the chicken (any bone-in cut) uncovered in the sauce for an hour at 350, or until done. I eat this at least twice a week.

I've started using a pinch of turmeric + pinch of ground black pepper + enough olive oil to coat two large chicken breasts. I don't marinade, just mix the stuff up and dip each breast in the bowl to get a good coating. Throw on the grill.

I do a lot of crockpot chicken bulk cooks. Quite often its stuff like Franks, Lawry's marinades, etc. but my most recent is my current favorite.

Im a huge fan of turkey, especially the near skin when its really juicy...yum. Chicken that tastes like that? I take 4lbs of boneless, 4 packets of low sodium turkey gravy powder, and 4 cups water. Mix the gravy and water, add chicken, marinade overnight, slow cook 6+ hours on low (on my crockpot anyway). Remove meat and store.

Gives me a few days worth of JUICY soft turkey-ish chicken.

If you know anyone in Hawaii (or might even be orderable online I dont know my mom sends to us) They have a sauce called Hulli Hulli sauce i might have spelled it wrong its incredible on everything chicken pork you name it BBq with it and enjoy

[soleuvanathlete]

I'd thought I tried it all, and then I realized that NOTHING can truly cover up the grossness of chicken breast. I choke it down occasionally, if I'm out of other lean protein sources, but can I just say "blech"!

Kudos to all of you who've eaten it for years and still love it! Is this off topic? Did I rant? Sorry. I just wish I could love it...

This is great stuff. Spent 2 years in Hawaii years ago, I forgot all about this delicious stuff.

Awesome thread, it made me hungry.
I like Newmans Own as well. Anything to get away from just plain ole chicken breast!

The Hawaiikine brand is good I have used it myself. Hell i have used it on pork and burger as well love the stuff

I've got to try the crockpot bulk cooking. I only have so much time to futz around in the kitchen and some recipes sound pretty involved.

I'm too chicken (Ha!) to use marinades on my chicken breasts bacause so many are loaded with added sugars and carbs. Any ideas for a low-sugar, low-carb marinade?

Yep, in fact mine is so good you would think it's illegal. I make an all natural marinade for my chicken that's fantastic. It's best cooked on the grill IMO, but broiled, or baked is great as well. You can even stir fry in a little olive oil if you choose.

Mix the following:

3/4 cup Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice
1/2 cup Fresh Squeezed Lime Juice
1/4 cup Fresh Squeezed Lemon Juice
1/2 Medium Size Onion fine chopped
3 Cloves Garlic fine chopped
1/2 Tsp Coarse Ground Black Pepper
1/2 Tsp Cayenne Pepper
2 Tbs Virgin Olive Oil

Combine all ingredients with Chicken in a Zip Lock bag and refrigerate for 4-hours minimum to 8-hours maximum. I'll typically turn the grill up full and cook about 7 minutes per side. Fast Cooked at High Heat will trap in the moisture! I personally like to serve it with Brown Rice topped with Salsa & Low Sodium/Low Fat Black Beans.

Leftovers heat up great as well! Give it a shot, you'll be glad you did!
Enjoy ...

Excellent! I'll give it a go and let you know. Thanks man!

I had to quit using my George Foreman to grill chicken breasts. We either bake them or grill them. The George was drying the meat out so bad it was like eating cardboard......

Ha! Was that with or without marinade, or maybe it made no difference - chicken in, cardboard out.

[DeathtoToasters]

To marinade......do you basically soak the meat in a bag with the stuff OR just brush it on while cooking? Which way works best?

Brushing on while cooking would be basting or glazing, marinade is soaking the meat for a period of time. Marinade works best IMO.

[JolietKev]

I just use a little salt and peppa, and olive oil with minced garlic. Throw about four into the NuWave oven and it tastes great. Much better than the George Forman IMO.

[BalloonKnot]

I do not eat boneless skinless breasts...matter of fact I recently switched to legs and thighs.

There is no reason to substitute white meat for dark meat unless you are cutting for a comp. I can still lose weight eating thighs and legs. I am a legs and @$$ man more so than a breast man too.

[JolietKev]

I am a leg man as well

Some great ideas here. Thanks. Here is a Lime Cilantro marinade. I generally serve the chicken with plantains that are sprayed with olive oil and oven baked until browned and chewy. <droool>

1 cup lime juice
1 tablespoon olive oil (optional)
1/2 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic
1 teaspoons cumin
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
4 tablespoons fresh chopped cilantro
