chicken thigh marinade

Killer Chicken Thigh Marinade

bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs ((about 4 lbs))

olive oil

Tbsp sesame oil

soy sauce

Worcestershire sauce

lemon juice ((or lime juice))

Tbsp honey

maple

garlic ((minced))

½ tsp black pepper ((freshly ground))

tsp kosher salt ((plus more to taste))

Mix all ingredients for the marinade together in a large bowl or a plastic Ziploc bag. Add the chicken and make sure that every piece is covered evenly. Marinate in a fridge for at least 30 minutes to 2 hours or, better yet, overnight.

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.

Place the chicken and all of the marinade in a baking dish. Bake uncovered at 450 degrees F for 25-30 minutes with the skin side up, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. To make sure the chicken tops are nicely browned and do not dry out, baste the chicken thighs in the juices and marinade about 15-20 minutes into baking.

To get a nicely browned, crisped up skin, turn on the broiler for 2-3 minutes when the thighs are almost done cooking. Monitor broiling very closely as the tops may burn if broiled for too long.

A naturally sweet and savory marinade, this Easy Orange Juice Chicken Marinade is a simple family-approved recipe perfect for busy weeknights.

chicken thighs

I’ll definitely try this! Your paleo chicken marinade is a ‘go to’ for me now! I make it all the time!

We are huge fans of the other chicken thigh marinade around here and loved this one too!  I love the little bit of sweetness from the orange juice on this one.  We will definitely add this to the rotation around here.

Amazing and easy recipe!  The chicken was very flavorful, it was cold outside so I cooked it by searing the chicken in a pan and finishing in the oven at 400 for 10-12 minutes.  Came out perfect!

This was a fantastic marinade and makes very flavorful and tender chicken. Thanks for sharing!

5 Easy Chicken Marinade Recipes made healthy, with simple ingredients you have on hand right now and without a food processor. Say good-bye to dry and boring chicken and hello to juicy and flavorful healthy and lean chicken meat!

5 Easy Chicken Marinade Recipes

tbsp honey or maple syrup

lime (juice of)

tsp chilli powder

garlic powder

paprika

tsp salt

tsp black pepper

lemon (juice of)

tbsp rosemary (dried

garlic

salt

red pepper flakes

lemon

maple syrup

soy sauce (I used Bragg’s liquid aminos)

tbsp rice vinegar

garlic (grated)

tsp fresh ginger (grated)

yogurt or buttermilk

onion powder

Combine marinade ingredients in a bowl and stir.

Pick flat container, baking dish or reusable silicone bag so chicken can lay flat for maximum flavor penetration.

Place chicken in a container, pour marinade over and mix to coat well.

Marinating time is anywhere from 30 minutes to 24 hours. Longer marinating time means more flavor but I wouldn&#039;t marinate past 24 hours because acid will cause flesh to break down.

When ready to cook, remove chicken from marinade and cook as per recipes.

Grilled chicken thighs are a healthy, versatile dinner that&#039;s ready fast! Charred outside and juicy inside, they grill in just 10 minutes.

Grilled Chicken Thighs

marinade

herbs (a squeeze of lemon

Oil (for grilling)

Combine

In large ziptop bag, combine all of the marinade ingredients, then add the chicken.

Marinate

Seal the bag to evenly coat the chicken with the marinade. Place in a pan or bowl to catch any drips. Let the chicken marinate at room temperature for at least 30 minutes, or refrigerate to marinate for up to 12 hours (5 to 6 hours is ideal). Even 15 minutes is better than nothing!

When ready to grill, preheat the grill to medium-high (375 to 400 degrees F). If your chicken has been in the refrigerator, remove it and allow it to come to room temperature for at least 10 minutes. Clean and oil the grates.

Grill

Place the chicken thighs on the grill presentation (smooth) side down, shaking off any excess marinade. Cover the grill and let cook 4 to 5 minutes on the first side, then flip. The chicken should lift off the grill relatively easily; if it is sticking, allow it to cook another minute or two, then try again.

Continue cooking on the other side for 4 to 6 minutes more, or until the chicken is cooked through (chicken is considered cooked at 165 degrees F. I remove mine around the 155/160 degree F mark and allow the carryover cooking to finish the rest). DO NOT OVERCOOK or your chicken will be dry.

Rest

Remove the chicken to a plate, cover, and let rest for at least 5 minutes. Sprinkle with herbs and a squeeze of lemon or lime juice as desired.

Grilled chicken thighs are a healthy, versatile dinner that's ready fast! Charred outside and juicy inside, they grill in just 10 minutes.

The BEST chicken thigh marinade made with simple ingredients: soy sauce, garlic, honey and spices. Use it for baked or grilled chicken thighs.

Chicken Thigh Marinade

garlic (roughly chopped (about 2 tablespoons))

extra virgin olive oil

honey

Dijon mustard

cumin

cayenne pepper (optional)

In a large bowl or large ziptop bag, combine the garlic, oil, honey, soy sauce, Worcestershire, Dijon, cumin, salt, and cayenne, lime juice and zest.

Add the chicken thighs and toss with the marinade to evenly coat. Marinate the chicken at room temperature for 30 minutes or refrigerate for up to 12 hours (I find about 4 to 6 hours is ideal—since this is a small amount of lime juice, you can push to 24 hours if absolutely necessary). Do not let marinate for longer, or the meat will start to break down. Let the chicken stand at room temperature for 15 minutes prior to cooking.

TO GRILL: When you are ready to cook the chicken, preheat the a gas, charcoal, or indoor grill to medium-high heat (about 400 degrees F). Scrub the grill grates clean. Remove the chicken from the marinade, shaking off any excess. Oil the grates, then place the chicken smooth-side down. Grill the chicken thighs for 8 to 12 minutes, flipping once halfway through, or until the chicken registers 155 degrees to 160 degrees F at the thickest part when tested with an instant read thermometer (chicken is considered fully cooked through at 165 degrees F, but its temperature will rise as it rests). Transfer to a plate or cutting board, cover, and let rest 5 to 10 minutes. Enjoy warm.

Bake

TO BAKE: Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Place the chicken in a single layer in a foil- or parchment-lined baking dish large enough to hold it comfortably without the chicken touching. Bake the chicken until it reaches 155 to 160 degrees F on an instant read thermometer inserted at the thickest part, about 15 to 18 minutes. Don&#39;t overcook! Cover and let rest 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

This Everyday Garlic Lemon Chicken Thighs recipe is one I come back to again and again. The simple homemade marinade takes just minutes to make, uses everyday supermarket ingredients and creates juicy, flavour-packed chicken that tastes so much better than the pre-marinated supermarket versions. Whether you cook it in the oven, air fryer, pan or on the barbecue, this is an easy, versatile dinner that works just as well on a busy weeknight as it does when you’re entertaining friends and family.

Everyday Garlic Lemon Chicken Thighs

tbsp red wine vinegar

½ lemon, juiced

tbsp garlic

tbsp sweet paprika

tbsp brown sugar (optional)

chicken stock powder

½ tsp freshly cracked black pepper

sea salt flakes

800 g boneless, skinless chicken thighs (see note 2 for chicken breast)

Lemon wedges

Flatbread

Toum (see note 3)

Village salad

potatoes

Make the marinade – Combine all the marinade ingredients together in a large bowl. Mix well to combine.

Marinate the chicken – Add the chicken to the marinade and toss well using tongs so the chicken is evenly covered. Refrigerate for 2–24 hours for deeper flavour or cook immediately if you are short on time.

Prepare

Heat the pan – Heat a large frying pan over medium–high heat. If your pan isn't non-stick, add a drizzle of olive oil.

Sear the chicken – Add the chicken and cook for 5–6 minutes on the first side until deeply golden.

Add water and cover – Flip and add 60 ml (¼ cup) of water to the pan. Reduce the heat to medium, cover with a lid and cook for a further 5–6 minutes.

Finish cooking – Uncover and cook for a further 1–2 minutes or until most of the water has evaporated and the chicken is cooked through. Add more water, 1–2 tablespoons at a time, if the marinade starts to catch on the bottom of the pan.

Rest and serve – Rest for 5 minutes before serving with the pan juices spooned over the top.

Pan-fry

Preheat the air fryer – Preheat the air fryer to 190°C (375°F). Spray the air fryer basket with oil.

Arrange the chicken – Arrange the chicken in a single layer, leaving a little space between each piece.

Cook – Cook for 12–15 minutes, turning halfway through cooking, until caramelised and cooked through.

Rest and serve – Rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Air fry

Preheat the oven – Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F) (200°C/400°F fan-forced).

Arrange the chicken – Arrange the chicken in a single layer in a lightly greased baking dish.

Add marinade – Pour over any remaining marinade and add 2 tablespoons of water to the tray.

Bake – Bake for 22–25 minutes or until cooked through and golden around the edges.

Optional grill (broil) – For extra colour, grill for the final 2–3 minutes.

Oven-bake

Preheat the grill – Preheat a barbecue or grill plate to medium–high.

Cook – Cook the chicken for 5–6 minutes per side, or until cooked through and beautifully caramelised.

Barbecue/grill

Serve – Serve with warm pita bread, toum, village salad, crispy roasted potatoes and plenty of fresh lemon wedges for squeezing over the top.

Serve
