This week I am going to be posting some of my favorite summery picnic and BBQ recipes, including stuff on the grill.
Let's start with Chicken!
One of my favorite things to grill is chicken, (second to steak of course).
There are THREE great marinades for chicken that can turn a plain ole chicken breast (or drumsticks) into an amazing meal and very EASY!
1. Italian dressing. just toss your chicken into a bowl or ziploc bag of Italian dressing and let it marinade as long as possible. Grill it to a temp of 165 and continuously drizzle the marinade on it to soak up all the flavor.
2. Honey Mustard- you can use my homemade honey mustard recipe found in an earlier post from the blog, or this recipe for a more dijon taste: Cook it the same way as above, turning and keeping it coated in the marinade as you cook it.
- 1/3 cup Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon steak sauce (like A1 or Heinz57)
3. Teriyaki- you can buy lots of Teriyaki marinades. Some of my favs are Lowery's, Jack Daniel's, or this super simple homemade recipe below: Cook the same way.
- 1/3 cup water
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/3 cup soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon crushed garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
These three marinades should set you off to a great start to summer grilling. Grilled chicken is not only VERY healthy, but there are so many ways to cook it and you wont have hamburger hips by the end of the summer!
