Apple Cider Chicken Marinade Recipes

Steps:

• Combine apple cider, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic powder, ginger, and butter in a large bowl. Stir well to combine. Use a flavor injector tool to inject marinade into chicken.

Steps:

• Heat oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, add to pan and sear until golden, about 4 minutes each side. Remove chicken from pan, and set aside. Add remaining butter and onion, apple, garlic, thyme and bay leaves. Saute until apple begins to get color and onions soften, about 6 minutes. Add flour and stir 2 to 3 minutes. Nestle chicken back into pan, add cider, bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cover. Cook until chicken is cooked through, about 12 minutes.

Steps:

• Remove chicken from package (or if living in a country where chicken is really fresh, remove feathers, entrails (do not crush any bits) head, feet and wingtips and tail).
• In a large bowl or clean sink put the chicken or cut up pieces of meat then pour on cold water until covered then add 1/2 cup of table salt or use less and 1/2 cup of apple cider vinegar.
• Move the chicken around gently in this mixture for 10 to 15 minutes. Less time is ok if you see that the skin hangs loose on the meat.
• You can add sugar or brown sugar, molasses, honey, karo syrup, pancake syrup or artificial sweetner to the soak, but that and the salt are a matter of taste.
• Rinse gently with more clean cold water.
• Now you are ready to cook stovetop, oven, crock pot, campfire or whatever.
• Even an old elderly bird will usually be tenderized.
• My grandma also used this on game to make it tender and moist.
• Remember to use a sink cleanser that contains bleach on the sink, because chicken is a funny meat. You need to be careful with utensils after they were touched by any raw meat.
• I mention the clean up, because when I was a new cook I did not know.

Steps:

• Combine apple cider, apple jelly, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, salt, and pepper in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir just until jelly melts, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let marinade cool to room temperature, about 10 minutes.
• Place chicken thighs and marinade into a 1-gallon plastic zip-top bag and let marinate for at least 1 hour.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Remove chicken from the bag and discard marinade.
• Grill chicken thighs until no longer pink in the centers, turning frequently being careful not to let chicken burn, 20 to 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a thigh should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Steps:

• In a 4-6 cup volume bowl whisk together apple juice, apple cider vinegar and vegetable oil.
• Next whisk in the honey.
• It is helpful to use the same measuring cup that you just measured the vegetable oil in, to allow the honey to easily slide out.
• Continue whisking until combined.
• Whisk 1 tbsp ginger.
• Mince 3-4 garlic cloves according to size of cloves and taste.
• Whisk in garlic.
• Marinade 4-8 chicken breasts, depending on size, in large lidded bowl or disposable zip top baggie.
• This makes a lot, over 2 1/2 cups, but with these ingredients on hand, its easy to mix up more if you need it.
• Marinate chicken at least 8 hours in refrigerator.
• Grill or bake as desired.
