Instructions
Marinade
- Choose one of the marinades.
- Stir together the ingredients for that marinade.
- Add chicken and marinade to desired container.
- Let chicken sit in marinade, covered in the fridge, for at least 30 minutes and up to 2 days.
Grill
- Preheat grill to medium high heat and lightly grease the grates.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade, and let the excess marinade drip off.
- Discard remaining marinade.
- Grill chicken until chicken reaches 165F. The grilling time will vary depending on thickness of the chicken.
- Remove chicken from grill, and tent loosely with foil.
- Let the chicken rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Oven
- Preheat oven to 425 F.
- Add the chicken and marinade to a baking dish. An 11x7-inch dish works well for 1-1.5 pounds of chicken.
- Bake for 10 minutes.
- Flip the chicken over, and continue to cook for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken registers 165F.
- Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Slow Cooker
- Add the chicken and marinade to the slow cooker insert.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 3-5 hours, or until chicken registers 165 F.12
Notes
- Can use a good-quality premade OJ if can't use fresh orange juice.
- Or an equal amount of apple juice
- Dried or fresh
- White or gold
- Ancho or plain chile powder ok
- Or 1/4 teaspoon table salt
- Or 1/4 teaspoon table salt
- Regular yellow mustard works well
- Or 1/4 teaspoon table salt
- Or 1/2 teaspoon table salt
- Or 1/4 teaspoon table salt
- I recommend doubling the amount of marinade and chicken if cooking in a slow cooker. Also, the recipes with alcohol (tequila lime and bourbon brown sugar) aren't recommended for the slow cooker.
