Peruvian Marinade (Roisserie, Grill, or Oven Chicken Marinade)

Recipe #223218 | 5 min | 5 min prep | 1 marinade (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: NcMysteryShopper

This marinade is for rotisserie chicken, but you can also marinade chicken parts (even boneless skinless breasts!) and cook in oven or on grill. It’s deliciously lemony and garlicky. A bit of vinegar makes it even brighter-tasting. Great paired with a fruity Argentinian Malbec.

    I used a combination of lemon and lime juice to marinate a small, whole butterflied chicken for about 12 hours... The chicken came out very moist, but had a strong tumeric flavor for us. The garlic flavor was really nice though and the chicken browned up really nicely. Thanks for sharing!!!

    I used lime juice, let it marinate about 5 hours, and roasted the chicken in the oven. This is a great simple recipe for a yummy chicken dinner.

    I was a little wary of putting in all that turmeric, but it tasted great. I used it on grilled chicken portions.

    When I put the chicken breasts in the marinade, I was not sure. But after 24 hours of being in the marinade, we cooked them on the barbecue. The taste is perfect. I didn't have hot paprika and I used hongarian paprika. I liked the taste of lemon. Everybody liked this recipe. Thanks Cheryl Made for beverage tag game.
