I added a bit to Bergy's wonderful Ginger-Lime Marinade and came up with this; a staple in our house now. The ingredient variations are used depending on how much chicken I have; usually I use this marinade with boneless chicken breasts. I would recommend grilling with mesquite (real mesquite not briquettes). El Diablo or Best of the West are great if they are available where you are. Ingredients:
1/3-1/2 cup soy sauce |
1/3-1/2 cup olive oil |
1/3-2/3 cup fresh ginger |
6 -9 garlic cloves |
4 -6 scallions |
1 -2 serrano pepper |
1 -2 lime zest |
1 to 2 lime, juice of |
1/3-2/3 cup cilantro |
1/3-2/3 cup apricot preserves |
1 -2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional) |
Directions:
1. Put all ingredients in a large ziploc bag;
2. Smash and finely chop garlic.
3. Finely chop ginger, cilantro and serranos.
4. Cut bunch of scallions into 1 inch pieces including an inch or two of green.
5. Grate the lime zest(s) with a mini grater and juice the limes into the bag.
6. Marinate for 1-6 hours or overnight .
7. Grill, Baby, Grill!
