At the weekend it suddenly turned sunny for a few hours, so my family decided to do an impromptu bbq. Because we didn't have any bbq meat we had to be imaginative. Here's two quick and easy chicken marinades that do not have to marinade for hours.
These marinades are based on 4 chicken breast fillets for each one.
1) Sweet balsamic marinade:
Add 2 tablespoons of balsamic, the zest and juice of half a lemon and 1 lime, 2 teaspoons of sugar, around a tablespoon of oil and season with salt, pepper and herbs such as basil and oregano.
1) Lemon and ginger marinade:
Add the zest and juice of 1-2 lemons, a teaspoon of cumin, a teaspoon of ginger, around a tablespoon of oil and season with salt and pepper.
Give them a good mix, either with a spoon or your hands. Cover with cling film and marinade for as long as you have time for, even if it's only for 10 minutes. Because they contain strong flavours the flavour will still come through.
Put on the bbq until the chicken is cooked though, serve with a creamy coleslaw or potato salad.
So next time the weathers nice give it a go!
Bon Appetit,
