Utilizing a chicken marinade is one of the finest methods to add tremendous flavor and maximum juiciness to your favorite meal. From a bright Greek lemon marinade to a punchy honey mustard marinade and everything in between, here’s everything you need to know about creating (and utilizing) the best chicken marinades.
What exactly is a chicken marinade?
A chicken marinade is a flavoring mixture of herbs, spices, oil, and other flavoring ingredients used to flavor chicken. Consider it a sauce that adds taste to your meat.
Marination of chicken
You have the option of marinating the chicken breasts in a large bowl or a large sealable bag before we begin the marinade process. To preserve space in the freezer or fridge, I like to use Stasher Bags. If you prefer to use a bowl, make sure it’s large enough to properly soak the chicken breasts in the marinade.
Marinade Greek lemon chicken
If you enjoy bright and fresh Mediterranean flavors, you’ll adore this one. It’s bursting with fresh lemon juice, herbs, and a kick of Dijon mustard.
Freezing marinated chicken
One of our best meal-prep secrets is to freeze marinated chicken. Simply place the chicken in a gallon-sized bag and add the marinade. Remove as much air as possible before sealing the bag. You can keep it in the freezer for up to 3 months.
