I like to use what I have on hand as a marinade. I get a different flavor each time.

One of the easiest marinades is to use Italian salad dressing that comes in a bottle for salads. You can put some in a zip loc bag add your chicken and freeze it and when you have thawed it out you have chicken marinated ready to cook!

2 garlic cloves, chopped

Place ingredients in a plastic bag; place steak in the bag and turn several times to coat and let sit about 30 minutes turmning occasionally. Do not use marinade a second time.

One of the easiest marinades for summer time grilled chicken is simply one can of concentrated frozen apple juice (don't dilute) and a half a can of frozen lime juice. Let them melt and then marinate your chicken for an hour. Grilled, it is just great and I serve it with homemade salsa ..peach or tomato.

[Bilby]

I'll have to get some fish sauce one day ther are a lot of asian recipes that call for it.

Don't have frozen juices here (only those I freeze myself) as far as I know but I can get the fresh stuff so that lime and apple juice sounds good, will try that with my chicken soon.

[vicki2]

Bilby ...it's an easy one to do at the last minute too because both apple and lime are fairly strong so it doesn't take that long of a time period to get a good flavor. I also use the chicken for sandwiches when we're eating outdoors. Wonderful with a mayo you can flavor yourself.

This is a great marinade I've used on steaks

1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1 tsp chopped fresh basil leaves
1 tsp chopped fresh rosemary
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp finely chopped fresh garlic
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp worcestershire sauce

Combine all ingredients into a large plastic food bag and add your steak. I like to marinade mine about 1 hour, but I suppose a good 15 to 20 minutes would work.
