Sign in to disble this ad
hey all,

I've got the girlfriends parents coming over for lunch tomorrow, so I'm doing barbecued chicken breasts. Can anyone recomend a good marinade for chicken for a grilling novice?

Cover half of them in Cayenne Pepper and the rest in Lemon Pepper. That way you have a choice of mild and spicey. They will think you are host with the mostest

I grill 3 times a week and have for 15 years.

Let the grill heat up, but then turn the burners all the way down after 10 minutes. I leave the lid down as well and that's a debated thing amongst grill nutz.

The more sugar in the sauce, the more ti will burn. Don't over flip, breasts you only flip once, add more sauce and once again or you'll dry them out.

If you use regular store bought sauce, add a cap of hickory smoke in a gallon freezer bag with the chicken pieces and sauce overnight and a small dash of cayenne if they can handle heat. Light on the liquid smoke or you'll kill them - mix it in the sauce first.

My fave chicken marinade is either of the Soy Vay's. No need to add anything.

good luck!

I can only tell you that my wife first bakes the chicken in the oven, then throws it on the grill. She just uses your run of the mill BBQ sauce, and that's probably my favorite meal, it tastes that good.

I prefer my chicken to still have the bones and skin. Lots of flavor there. IMO, it tastes a lot better than boneless. If you're going boneless, try pounding them out a little before hitting the grill. Don't turn them into parm cutlets, just wack'em a little bit. I think it helps the texture of the finished meat.

I don't have any favorite BBQ to recommend. I like them all. Just don't be afraid to let that sugary sauce burn and char a little. IMO, that really adds to the BBQ flavor.

Easy marinade that tastes great: bunch of limes, honey, soy sauce. Mix together in a nice dilute mix, then marinade chicken for a couple hours in fridge. Place on grill. Voila. Dinner.

For boneless, skinless breasts, a little pounding is a good idea - just enough to even out the thickness a bit. If you don't it's easy to end up with the thin end dried out and the thick part under-done.

An easy (and juicy) method I use for bone-in, skin-on thighs...
- Boil chicken until cooked all the way through (adding garlic, salt, and whatever other herbs and spices you want to the water).
- Remove thighs from water, pat dry and brush with BBQ sauce.
- BBQ thighs over medium heat for a few minutes per side.
- BBQ flavor and crispy skin outside, fall-off-the-bone juicy meat inside.
