Chicken Marinade or Baste

Recipe #94416 | 50 min | 5 min prep | add private note

This is a great marinade for baked or grilled chicken legs, breasts or thighs. It also makes a great sauce for wings for that summer BBQ. Use some of the left over marinade to baste the chicken as it bakes or grills. Just remember, to let it cook after basting since the raw chicken marinaded in it. The sauce sticks to the chicken very well and gives a wonderful flavor. This is quick and very easy to make when you are pressed for time on a hot summer night. Marinade time not included in cooking time. Edited to add that Chef Jessica used this as a OAMC recipe and said in her review that it worked great and froze very well!

    Have lots of paper napkins handy or finger bowls to clean hands.

    The sauce can be a bit messy when eating with fingers.

Thought this marinade was just great, certainly a different mixture. I used grainly mustard, and pure maple syrup, plus I used fresh garlic as it didn't have jar garlic. The allspice just added another dimension to the recipe. Will definately use this marinade again and next time maybe try dijon mustard and honey which would give it a different flavour altogether.

    This was great! Just the sent of me opening my marinade bag had my SO running to the kitchen to see what smelled so good! I used the Dijon, honey and fresh garlic. This is OAMC Cooking frendly. I made this up 3 weeks ahead of time and froze it in the marinade, then took out the night before to defrost. This one will definatly be a new staple in my marinades!

    This marinade was soooooo good! Even my DD, (who's not a big fan of curry) loved it. The only thing I will do next time, is use fresh garlic instead of jarred because I prefer the taste of fresh garlic. Thanks for posting.
