What else should I put in the marinade? |
|
Got a couple chicken to grill, have a can of frozen limeade and all kinds of herbs and spices...what else should I throw in the marinade?
Sides: new pot of pinto beans w/ salt pork, corn tortillas, fresh tomatoes from the garden and may grill 0.0000% or a few of the zuchinnis as well.

Just a little. The sugar will give you blackened chix, and not the cajun kind. Portugese "Cheap" Chicken Lemon or lime juice, olive oil, and MORE salt and pepper than looks right. Oil and vinegar with herbs for the zucs. Quarter them.

5. yeah its pretty sugary, but I figure I will pre nuke before grilling |
|
and that will actually make a nice, kind of crispy glaze??? Oil AND vinegar on the zuch? hmmm what kind of vinegar? I have regular white, balsamic (cheap), red wine (also cheap) and cider vinegars (wow you might think I was in to vinegar or something)

12. Basically Italian dressing. |
|
Probably any kind but straight white. Balsamic would be good.
Marinate for an hour if you have the time. Actually I usually use a good (Newman's) bottled Italian dressing.

16. Ground coriander, some dried oregano, and sneak in a pinch of cumin |
|

if you think he won't spit out the whole meal. Those seasonings will go well with the lime, garlic, and chicken. A dash of paprika or powdered mild red chile, too.

20. Well then a PINCH of that ginger should add some DEPTH to the pepper. |
|
Just use it sparingly, so it doesn't stand out on its own... 1/4 or 1/3 the pepper measurement is nice.
I'd also toss in some of the coriander you mentioned, but not everyone likes that with beans & tortillas.
Do you have any sage or Mexican oregano? You really can't go wrong with those. Careful not to overdo the sage, though... a little does a lot.
Parsley is another oft-overlooked spice that works well with almost everything; it adds depth to the stronger spices without really announcing its presence.

13. Anger. Hatred. The bile of a thousand rejections. Shame. |
|
That always makes a nice marinade, IMO.
