Spicy Grilling Marinade for Chicken and Seafood
Nice easy marinade. Toss the food to be marinated in the mixture, mix well and refrigerate for 2-24 hours. TIP: Here is a trick I like to use for whenever I buy meats, or poultry that I intend on freezing. I like to buy in bulk, but since I usually only make dinners for two I freeze the meat in ziplock bags. For example you can usually fit 1-2 chicken breasts in a ziplock bag. I put these bags in the freezer and when I want to use them I can grab the serving size I need without having to pry the meat apart. The best part of this ziplock bag method is it makes it so easy to marinate! Just take out a bag before going to work, add your favorite marinade to the bag and put the sealed bag in the fridge. When you get home from work it is ready to cook!

great idea to put the marinade right in the bag! I do the same as you in separating the bulk packages, and use the bags. I'm going to do some right now and am glad I saw this1 thanksReply

Wonderful marinade...perfect for OMAC. I cut the recipe in half as I was only marinating 6 chicken thighs and I only used 1 tsp hot pepper sauce. My technique for marinating foods differ from Nurbel's. I put the marinade in with the chicken... remove the air, making sure that the chicken lays flat... then put it on a cookie sheet and freeze it flat. By doing this it 1) fits easy in my freezer 2)it helps prevent freezer burn 3)it makes it so easy to grab something that is already prepared. I just take out the chicken and put it in tempid water for 25 - 30 minutes. Once it is thawed, I put it in the fridge until I am ready for it. My DH has a wonderful habit of inviting people over at the last minute and last night was one of them. I had my prep work done within the hour... food waiting to be cooked, with time to sit down and have a glass of wine! This recipe was perfect for such occasions!! Kudos, Nurbel for an excellent recipe. I would do this one again!Reply -
