Homemade Tangy Chicken Marinade

Prep Time10 minutes
Fridge4 hours
Course: Dinner
Cuisine: American

Ingredients

  • approx. 800g (1¾ lb) chicken breast (4 large breasts)
  • 2 cloves garlic (finely chopped)
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp ketchup
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp barbecue sauce
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • ¼ tsp fresh thyme
  • ½ tsp fresh rosemary
  • ½ tsp chilli powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 2 tsp sea salt
  • ½ tsp cumin
  • ½ tsp cayenne pepper
  • black pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  • Mix the oil, ketchup, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, BBQ sauce, thyme, rosemary and honey in a bowl.
  • In a separate bowl combine the remaining ingredients and then stir into the wet mixture.
  • Lay the chicken breasts in a large dish and score each one several times.
  • Slather over the sauce, making sure it gets right into the chicken and then turn the meat several times so each breast is well covered with the sauce.
  • Cover and leave for several hours (or if you can, overnight is even better) and then cook on the BBQ (or you could grill or bake in the oven). Enjoy!
