Too many files in my files! I have thousands of food photos I've snapped over the years with the intention of putting them on the website for easy-finding later that I never got around to or just updated photos for things I've been making for years and already have the recipe in my files online but thought I'd add a new photo.
And then... life.
So I never did.
And the files reproduced like rabbits because I'm frustrated every time I open the food file on my laptop.
So quick and simply - here is a photo of chicken grilling - I have no idea of when or where I've posted this marinade but I'm sure I have as I've been using it for about 20 years now. It's a summer 'fair' style chicken marinade. Like, when you are at a county fair, walking down the food vendor aisles and there is a fundraiser by a local non-profit group that is grilling chicken. This is that kind of chicken.
Note: I only like this marinade with chicken thighs. Oddly enough, when I've tried it with chicken breasts, it doesn't have the same flavor and I really do not like it. But for whatever reason, this is excellent with the chicken thighs and legs.
Chicken thigh/leg marinade
1 egg
1 c oil of choice (like canola)
2 c apple cider vinegar
1 t hickory smoke flavoring
1 t garlic pepper
1 T salt
1 T poultry seasoning
1 t black pepper
Put the ingredients into a saucepan on the stove, and whisk them as you turn on the heat. Warm over medium and stir until thick, but do not boil. Cool. Add 3-4 lbs. chicken thighs and marinate for at least 2 hours, up to 6-8. Grill as usual.
