I don’t know about you, but at this time of year I’m pretty much obsessed with grilling. And not just because it means my husband helps with dinner…although that’s clearly a nice bonus…but because summer and grilling were basically made for each other.

I love how quick it is, how effortless it feels, and the fact that anything grilled just tastes better. And I especially love the fact that grilling is such a great way to bring people together.

Whether it’s for a neighborhood barbecue, a Labor Day cookout, or a last minute dinner with friends, there’s something about grilling in summertime that’s simply irresistible.

We love grilling all kinds of foods, but our go to is always chicken. Because grilled chicken is delicious on its own, in salads, like this Chicken Fajita Salad and this Cherry Almond Arugula Salad, or in so many other recipes. The possibilities for it are virtually endless.

WHAT IS A MARINADE?

A marinade is a sauce, typically made of oil, vinegar, spices, and herbs, in which meat, fish, or other food is soaked before cooking in order to flavor or soften it.

In a large ziploc bag or container, combine 1/2 c. olive oil, 1/2 c. orange juice, 1/4 c. brown sugar, 2 Tbsp. lemon juice, 2 Tbsp. soy sauce, 1 Tbsp. worcestershire sauce, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tsp. dried minced onion, 1/2 tsp. dried thyme, 1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper. Stir until combined.
  2. Add 2 lbs. chicken, close bag, and shake gently until chicken is completely covered.
  3. Refrigerate for 2 hours or up to 2 days.

CAN YOU MARINATE FROZEN CHICKEN?

Marinating frozen chicken is a great way to go. You an actually add the marinade to the chicken while it is still frozen and let it thaw as it is soaking up the flavor of the marinade.

CAN YOU REUSE MARINADE?

Marinade can not be reused as it contains harmful bacteria. If you would like to use some of your marinade as a sauce, it is best to reserve a small amount for this purpose.

    Thank you for the. Recipe:)
    Quick question, how long can you keep the marinade after we make it?
    I know not to reuse it if we add chicken to it but I would like to freeze the marinade and keep it for another time.
    Is that a good idea?
    Will the flavours still be flavourful?
    Thanks

    This was really great. Tonight I made it, just to try, at the same time I had your tuscan sausage potato soup going. The soup is filling enough, but I wanted to have something ready to try tonight in case my husband thought the soup wasn’t enough. So we had a little of the chicken fried up in a pan. It turned out really good! It has a better flavor than most marinades I’ve tried. I guess it’s the combo of the soy/Worcestershire, along with the thyme and citrus. Any other spice/herb mixtures that might go well in this?

    Thanks for great recipes! You’re two for two at our house right now. Can’t wait to try more. 🙂
