Instructions
 

  • Mix together the marinade ingredients in a medium bowl. Add the chicken to a large bowl. Pour the marinade on top and toss to coat. Seal with a lid, and place in the fridge for 30 minutes minimum, up to 12 hours.
  • Rotate the chicken halfway through marinating time. Remove chicken and discard the leftover marinade.
  • Proceed to cooking - these can be baked in the oven, grilled on the barbecue, stir fried or air fried.
  • Add the chicken to a large freezer bag. Mix together the marinade ingredients in a bowl, then pour into the bag. Remove excess air and seal the bag tightly. These can be frozen up to 3 months for best freshness.

Notes

- Marinate chicken for at least 3 hours for best flavor; overnight is even better. - Do not reuse marinades that have come into contact with raw chicken. - Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F. - If grilling, apply high-quality grilling spray to prevent sticking.
