Chicken Marinades 8 Ways

These 5 easy chicken marinade recipes are freezer-friendly, effortless to prepare, and totally delicious! These are the perfect chicken marinades for meal prepping, grilling, panfrying, Instant Pot, and more!

5 Easy Chicken Marinade

chicken breast (per marinade)

orange juice

salt

chicken stock

garlic

lime juiced

93 mL adobo sauce

chipotle pepper

Greek yogurt

lemons (juiced)

lemon

garlic (pressed

oregano

thyme

salt and pepper

lemongrass (sliced)

shallot (minced)

soy sauce paste

garlic (minced)

paprika

onion powder

Whisk together the ingredients for (one) marinade in a small bowl until combined.

Combine the marinade with the chicken in a ziplock freezer bag, and toss until the chicken is evenly coated in the marinade.  Carefully press out the extra air in the bag before sealing.

Immediately transfer the chicken pack(s) to the freezer, and freeze laying flat for up to 3 months.  Then when you’re ready to cook the chicken, transfer the chicken pack back to the refrigerator for 24 hours, or until it has thawed completely.

If Freezing

Refrigerate the chicken for anywhere from 30 minutes to up to 1 day to marinate.

If Using Immediately

Heat oven to 425°F. Add chicken and marinade to a small baking dish. Bake chicken for 25-30 minutes.

Baking

Place the chicken into the Instant Pot and add 1 cup of water (or broth) and pressure cook for 8-9 minutes (depending on the size of your chicken breast, 6 minutes per pound of chicken) and then Quick Release when done.&nbsp;

Optional: After removing the chicken from the Instant Pot, press sauté, add a tbsp of cornstarch or heavy cream to thicken the liquid leftover in the pot to make it into a sauce! This does not work with the greek chicken though.

Note: be sure to shake off the marinade for the greek chicken (the yogurt) before placing it in the IP with the 1 cup liquid.

Instant Pot

Heat grill to medium-high.  Grill for 18 minutes, flipping the chicken halfway through, until it is cooked through (165°F)

Grilling

Preheat oven to 425 F. Mix together chicken marinade of choice in a small bowl and pour over chicken in a Ziploc bag or small bowl. Marinate for 15-20 minutes.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or tin foil. If you&#x27;d like to do multiple marinades at a time, make dividers using your tin foil as shown in the video below. Add chicken thighs with bottom area facing down. Bake for 12 minutes, then flip and bake 8 more minutes.

Check that chicken is cooked through by slicing one of the thighs down the middle and if meat thermometre reads 165 F.

This Garlic Butter Turkey Injection Marinade. It is easily one of our favorite marinades to use whenever we smoke, rotisserie, or bake a turkey in the oven. Photo by: Sabrina Baksh

Garlic Butter Turkey Injection Marinade

chicken

unsalted butter

garlic powder (use less if desired)

salt (omit if brining turkey)

white pepper

Place broth and butter into a microwave safe bowl. Set on high for 1 minute until butter has liquified and broth has warmed. Remove from microwave and combine broth and melted butter with lemon juice. Add remaining ingredients and stir through. Let stand for 10 minutes, and stir through once more before using.

Prepare the bird by patting dry with paper towels. Load marinade into the meat injector, and slowly inject into multiple spots in the turkey. Be sure to really work the breast meat, as it tends to dry out during cooking.

If there is leftover marinade that you plan to use as a baste, place it into a saucepan, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 6-8 minutes on medium, or low. Let it cool for 10 minutes, and use as needed.

If you are not using the marinade as a baste, simply discard it. Do not save it in the refrigerator as it has come into contact with raw meat.
