This marinade is incredibly tasty and it lends itself to more than just chicken. It is great for steaks as well and it can even be used as a stir-fry sauce. We get unrefined sweetness from the molasses, a little sour with the lime juice and a nice spicy punch from the cayenne pepper.
Ingredients
- For the marinade:
Directions
- Combine all of the marinade ingredients in a mixing bowl and stir well.
- Marinate chicken for about 3 hours. If using chicken breast, cut in half horizontally and then add it to the marinade. Chicken thighs can go straight in.
- After marinating time is up, remove meat from the marinade and wipe off the excess.
- Cook on a preheated BBQ set on medium.
- Take care as the marinade has sugar because of the molasses and it will burn. You may need to move the meat to a cooler part of the grill to finish cooking without burning.
- Serve this up with your favourite veggies and a grain or slice the meat and add to a soup or noodle dish and enjoy.
Variations
- This marinade also works well for top sirloin or strip loin beef steaks.
- Add 1 tablespoon chopped garlic for another flavour profile.
