Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 1 large onion peeled and chopped
- 2 tablespoons chopped garlic
- 1/3 cup packed dark brown sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoon ground allspice
- ¾ teaspoon dry thyme
- ¾ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon ground cloves
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch cayenne
- ½ cup reduced-sodium soy sauce or tamari
- ½ cup red-wine vinegar
Instructions
- In a large saucepan, heat the canola and olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic and let cook, covered, for 4-6 minutes- until the onions are soft & translucent. Stir them occasionally as they cook.
- Stir in the brown sugar, allspice, thyme, pepper, cloves, cinnamon and cayenne and remove from heat. Stir in the soy sauce and red wine vinegar.
- Let the mixture cool completely before using it.
- Chicken should marinade for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Set aside about 1/4 cup of the marinade to brush on top of the meat as it cooks, if desired.
Notes
- This recipe makes enough to generously marinade 5-6 chicken breasts. I like to cut my chicken breasts in half so that each is thinner, giving you 12 chicken cutlets.
- I like to marinade my chicken for at least 2 hours, and up to 24. If your pressed for time, you can marinade for 30 minutes and still get really flavorful chicken!
- You can also use this marinade for chicken thighs, chicken wings, salmon, and other seafood!
- Do not reuse the marinade after using once.
