Chicken marinades?

[bronnibro]

Hi, im looking for easy marinades for chicken, I buy either drumstick fillets to marinade and put in pittas with salad etc or thighs/breast with other things such as rice etc, as my teen son is big into protein etc at the moment eats a lot of chicken! What do you put on yours? Oil and some spice herbs? Which ones? Or a marinade? Looking for simple and different flavours for him to try, I cook either oven/air fryer/George foreman/pan fried normally , George foreman grill gives best results and quick so use that the most for chicken, thankyou! All types of flavours welcome he's not fussy

Greek yoghurt base and play about with different flavours. 5% fat at least, never really works with fat free! Marinade for a good few hours.

Tandoori spices, crushed garlic, squeeze of lemon, salt and pepper is a good one.

or

Cumin, chillies, ginger, fresh coriander, squeeze of lime, salt and pepper.

or

Without Greek yog-

slice the breast in half and pop some mozzarella and basil in, rub with oil, Italian spices, tomato paste. Even better to wrap the whole thing in Parma ham.

Oh they sound good! Thanks I'll try, tbh just been brushing some oil on then salt/pepper/ paprika etc

If you prick over the chicken, it will absorb the marinade better.

Greek- mix in a freezer bag some olive oil, chopped garlic, juice of 1-2 lemons, oregano then leave the chicken in the bag overnight to marinade

I've also recently discovered brining. I do it with whole chicken, but pieces would work also. You can really taste the herbs/garlic, it doesn't take as long to cook and keeps the meat juicy.
