How to marinate chicken for the oven. Chicken marinated in mayonnaise in the oven

The spring holidays are just around the corner. And by tradition, we always associate them with the opening of the summer season and the preparation of barbecue. From which they just do not prepare it - from pork, lamb, fish and, of course, from chicken meat.

The advantage of chicken meat is that it is softer and more tender. It also marinates faster and cooks. It is also considered more dietary, especially if it is prepared from fillets.

Chicken meat has soft and tender meat, and practically does not require pre-treatment, especially for additional softening of the pulp. And basically, marinades are used to give additional flavors, as well as to preserve all the useful properties and juiciness when frying.

In order to make this, very simple ingredients are used, such as salt, pepper, onion and mineral water, for example. But there are also more complex variations, including many different spices, lemon zest, saffron, various sauces and fermented milk products such as sour cream, kefir, ayran.

Now ready-made meat for barbecue can be purchased at the store, but still cooked on your own, it cannot be compared with any store analogue. After all, you can add everything that you love to it - various favorite spices, flavorings. And you will definitely know what is in the composition, and what quality. That is why everyone tends to cook marinade for meat on their own.

You can fry it both on the coals on the grill and in the oven.

Perhaps this is the most popular method of all known to me. In any case, most of my friends use this option.

And this is no coincidence, kefir has a moderately sour taste, which contributes to a moderate softening of the meat. And the fact that kefir is fatty and rather dense, well envelops each piece of meat and does not drain, allows you to keep all the juice inside, quickly fry it and get a beautiful golden crust.

That is just the perfect marinade.

For cooking, you can use any parts of the chicken, and we will use chicken thighs. Their meat is not dry, moreover, it is covered with a skin. This will keep the juice inside the piece and give the meat a beautiful crispy golden brown.

We will need:

  • chicken thighs - 2 kg
  • kefir 3.2% fat - 500 ml
  • onion - 1 kg
  • parsley - bunch
  • spices - any for barbecue or chicken - 1.5 - 2 tbsp. spoons
  • salt, pepper - to taste

Cooking:

1. Wash the meat and pat dry with paper towels.

2. Cut the onion into thin half rings. Try to cut it as thin as possible, so it will nourish each meat piece with its juice more strongly.

3. Fold the chicken into a large container and sprinkle with onions lightly crushed in your hands. Stir and crush the onion a little more.

4. Pour kefir. In principle, it can be used with any fat content. But I usually buy 3.2% fat. Such kefir is tastier in itself, which means that the marinade from it turns out to be the most delicious.


5. Add spices. You can also add any of them, including ready-made spices for barbecue. Well, if they contain thyme, or rosemary, or savory, they will give a pleasant aroma to the dish. You can add ground coriander, along with zira, it is a favorite Asian spice.

I also always add at least a pinch of ground ginger, I love its zesty flavor. In addition, meat with its use always turns out to be softer and more tasty.

To get a beautiful, golden crust, you can add a little turmeric or paprika. But these are just useful tips, add those spices that you yourself like more. They will need a total volume of approximately 2 - 2.5 tablespoons.

6. Add a teaspoon of salt and pepper to taste.

7. Cut and add parsley. It is not necessary to cut it very finely, later it will be necessary to remove it so that it does not burn when frying the meat. Mix and press well with your hand. Top with a flat plate and press lightly so that the marinade covers each piece of our chicken.

8. The pieces are large, so let's leave them to marinate for 3 - 4 hours. It is advisable not to leave them in the sun, it is best to put the container with meat in a cool place.

9. Thread the pieces onto skewers or place on a wire rack. You can cook in any suggested way. Carefully remove pieces of onion and herbs from meat.

10. Fry until cooked and until a beautiful golden brown appears for about 25-30 minutes. Make sure that the flames do not break out and do not burn the tender juicy meat.


11. Serve the finished barbecue with chopped onions, you can pre-marinate it. You can also sprinkle with fresh herbs.

According to the same recipe, you can cook barbecue on a mineral water. The only change is that instead of kefir we use any carbonated mineral water.

The rest of the recipe remains unchanged.

With mayonnaise and garlic

This is another one of the most popular marinade options. And most likely everyone knows how to cook it. In fact, it is very similar to the previous recipe. You can even say that you can leave everything in it unchanged, just add mayonnaise instead of kefir and that's it, we get a completely different taste.

We will need:

  • chicken - 1 pc.
  • garlic - 1 head
  • mayonnaise - 100 ml
  • salt, pepper - to taste
  • spices for chicken

Cooking:

According to this recipe, we will cook the kebab on the grill in large pieces.

1. Wash the chicken and cut into 6 - 8 pieces.

2. Peel and cut the garlic lengthwise into thin plates. Combine spices with salt, pepper and mayonnaise. You can use any spices you like.

3. Lay the garlic plates under the chicken skin.

4. Then coat the pieces with mayonnaise mixture.

5. Put the pieces in a suitable container and leave for an hour and a half.

6. Then put the meat on the grill and fry on hot coals until cooked. The finished kebab will turn out rosy, fragrant and very tasty.


Serve and eat with pleasure.

I met such an opinion that it is not advisable to cook chicken skewers with mayonnaise, due to the fact that it contains a lot of fat. And with strong heating, a lot of harmful substances are released.

Like it or not, one can only guess. But the recipe for such a marinade exists, and I describe it. Therefore, to cook barbecue in this version, or not, everyone will determine for himself.

Marinade with Vinegar and Onion

This option of preparing meat for frying is currently very controversial. There is an opinion that meat with the use of vinegar is tough and tasteless. Therefore, this option was replaced by more gentle methods using sour cream, mayonnaise, kefir and other, not so aggressive ingredients.

But in principle, if you are not zealous with the amount and percentage of vinegar, you can get quite tasty, soft and juicy shish kebab.

Therefore, we will not leave this method without attention, and we will cook chicken using it. I would recommend it for larger pieces of chicken like thighs or drumsticks. That is, when the meat is on a large bone and large enough. As a rule, I do not use this option for breast and fillet.

You can also cook according to this recipe if it is too hot outside, and the meat needs to be transported to the dacha in the heat. Although in my opinion it is better to transport a whole chicken and marinate it already on the spot.

We will need:

  • chicken - 2 kg
  • onion - 1 kg
  • red ground pepper - 0.5 tsp
  • ground black pepper - 0.5 tsp
  • salt - 1.5 teaspoons
  • bay leaf - 1-2 pieces
  • spices - to taste
  • apple cider or wine vinegar - 100 ml

Cooking:

For barbecue, you can use a whole chicken and cut it into pieces. Or purchase thighs or drumsticks and use them.

You can fry on a grill or skewers, as you like more.

1. If using chicken, then wash it and cut it into roughly equal pieces. Adjust their size depending on which method of frying you choose.

2. Peel and cut the onion into very thin half rings. Put it in a dish in which we will marinate. Sprinkle with salt and squeeze until juice appears.

3. Put the chicken pieces on top and mix.

4. Add spices, about 2 - 2.5 teaspoons. You can use them to your liking, ready-made ones that can be bought at any store are suitable. Add also bay leaf and pepper. Mix everything.

5. Pour apple cider vinegar. You can also use regular vinegar 6 or 9%, but in this case, it is better to dilute it with a little water. Thoroughly mix the meat with the marinade, and press down with your hands, then cover with a lid.


6. Leave to infuse. It will be enough to lie down for 1 hour, in exceptional cases two hours. Worth no more.

7. Fry the meat, as usual, until tender and golden brown.

Marinade with soy sauce

For such a barbecue, any parts of chicken meat are also suitable. Therefore, I leave the choice to you.

We will need:

  • chicken - 2 kg
  • onion - 700 gr
  • soy sauce - 4 - 5 tbsp. spoons
  • olive oil - 4 tbsp. spoons
  • lemon juice - 4 tbsp. spoons
  • garlic - 2 cloves
  • pepper - to taste

Cooking:

1. Wash the chicken and cut into pieces if it is whole. Try to cut it in such a way that they are all about the same size. This is necessary for uniform pickling and frying of the pieces.

And if it is possible to cook, for example, from the thighs or drumsticks, then it will be just perfect. Here, all parts already have the same size.

If you want the kebab to turn out to be more dietary, then you can remove the skin from each piece. By the way, in this case, the marinade will better soak all the pieces.

2. Cut the onion into thin half rings. Mince the garlic.

3. Mix soy sauce with lemon juice and pepper. In the recipe, I did not specify that you need to use spices and salt. The fact is that soy sauce is already quite salty, so there is no need to add it.


Spices, in my opinion, are also not needed here, all ingredients have their own taste and smell, and they will be quite enough to get an excellent result.

Although, if you wish, you can add spices to your liking.

4. Prepare a container in which we will cook meat. Place chicken pieces in it and drizzle with oil. If there is no olive oil, then you can use regular vegetable oil without smell.

Stir with meat so that each piece is coated with oil.

5. Chop the onion with your hands, pressing on it so that it starts the juice. You can mash the onion in a separate bowl, and then mix with the meat and mix.

6. And the last step is to pour the prepared marinade. Mix everything and leave for 2 - 3 hours in a cool place.

During this time, you can mix the contents a couple of times so that each piece is better saturated with juice.

7. Thread the meat onto skewers or place on a wire rack. Thoroughly clean the onion pieces.

8. Fry on hot coals for 20 - 25 minutes, periodically turning the meat over and not allowing the flames to flare up.


The finished kebab will be covered with a beautiful ruddy crust, it will be soft, juicy and tasty.

With soy sauce and honey

According to this recipe, we will cook chicken skewers also using soy sauce, but we will add new honey notes, thanks to which the meat will get a completely different taste.

We will need:

  • chicken - 700 gr
  • soy sauce - 1 tbsp. the spoon
  • light honey - 1 tbsp. the spoon
  • lemon juice - 1 teaspoon
  • zest - from half a lemon
  • paprika, turmeric - 0.5 tsp each
  • spices for chicken - optional

Cooking:

1. Rinse the meat and pat dry with paper towels. Cut into bite-sized pieces.

2. To prepare, mix soy sauce, honey and lemon juice. Remove the zest from half a lemon and add it to the liquid mixture. You need to remove only the yellow part of the zest. The white part is bitter and the meat can take on a bitter taste.

3. Add turmeric and paprika, these spices will add a beautiful color to the cooked meat.

You can add spices if you like. But I do not add, since all the components are already quite strong in taste and smell.

4. Pour the meat with the resulting marinade and rub it into the pulp. Leave to infuse for 30 minutes.


5. Then string on skewers and fry on hot coals until cooked and a beautiful golden brown forms.

The sweet marinade penetrates the structure of the meat very well and it tastes completely amazing and unusual.

These cooking options are not used as often as sour ones, but if you want to experiment, then cook, it will be unusual and delicious!

And if you add red pepper and mustard to a similar recipe, you can cook spicy chicken wings. I already have such a recipe in one of the articles. And if you are interested in such a recipe, then, and there you will find its description.

How to cook delicious chicken with ketchup and olive oil

Another delicious option that allows you to get not only soft meat, but also a beautiful crispy crust.

We will need:

  • chicken fillet - 1000 gr
  • ketchup - 12 tbsp. spoons
  • olive oil - 8 tbsp. spoons
  • spices - paprika, thyme, dried ginger
  • salt, pepper - to taste

Cooking:

This method can be used for any parts of the chicken. But today we will use chicken fillet.

1. Wash the fillet and dry it with paper towels, then cut into fairly large pieces. Drizzle with oil and mix.

The oil will create a light film on the surface of the piece and will not allow the juice to flow out. In addition, thanks to him, the barbecue will turn out with a beautiful golden brown.

2. Pepper the meat to taste. Add spices. You can use the ones you usually use. It's not particularly important. You can add a ready-made mixture for chicken kebabs, or just for chicken.

The only spice I always add besides others is dried ground ginger. I love adding it to marinades for pork skewers, and any other. It gives a light spiciness, piquancy and allows you to achieve softness of the meat.

If you like the garlic flavor, you can chop a couple of garlic cloves and add that too.

3. Add ketchup and mix everything. You can also use any ketchup. Someone likes it spicier, so add a spicy variety. Or the one in the fridge. Mix meat with all ingredients.


4. Leave for 30 minutes. This time will be quite enough for each piece to be saturated with juice and taste.

5. At the end of the allotted time, salt. But not very much, salt is already present in ketchup. Mix again and thread onto skewers.

6. Grill on the coals on the grill. It is best to use coals from any fruit trees, or birch will also work.


Fry for 15 minutes. The meat is tender and will fry pretty quickly. Drizzle with a little oil a couple of times while frying. The chicken fillet itself is rather dry, and in order to keep the juice inside and achieve a golden crust, this will need to be done.


7. Serve with chopped and pickled onions, fresh vegetables and ketchup. Eat with pleasure.

How to marinate chicken for barbecue so that the meat is tender

And so, let's summarize our today's review. We looked at various ways to marinade for barbecue.

As you probably noticed, they are all divided into 4 main ways:

  • sour
  • sweet
  • sharp
  • neutral

"Sour" way

Chicken has soft and tender meat that does not require long marinade.

So, for example, if you want to quickly cook meat, then this just needs an acidic environment, which makes it soft. It can be various fermented milk products - kefir, sour cream, ayran, yogurt, or sour juices - pomegranate, pineapple, apple and others. Also in this category can be attributed ketchup, or fresh tomatoes, as well as shish kebab always turns out soft with the addition of kiwi, lemon, lime or pineapple.

Acidic ingredients also include regular, wine or apple cider vinegar. You need to be careful with them, as they greatly soften the meat. Leave the meat in such a marinade for a very short time, preferably no more than an hour.

Spices are widely used as additional ingredients. As a rule, these are various herbs with smells, such as savory, thyme, rosemary, marjoram, bay leaf, and spices such as coriander, ginger, and a mixture of peppers are also used. Paprika and turmeric are added for color, and saffron is added for color and aroma.

Onion is added to almost all marinades, it releases juice and soaks each piece, making it juicy.


In order for the meat to better retain the juice and look beautiful when cooked, olive or other vegetable oil is added, but odorless.

You can add mustard, honey, a little sugar to the composition.

"Sweet" way

If the first method is quite often used in cooking barbecue, then the sweet one is used much less frequently.

As a rule, when you want something “such”, another, then you can use it.

As components for such options, soy sauce is used, or soy sauce with honey or mustard. For piquancy, garlic, herbs are added.

Paprika and turmeric are used for the best taste and color. And for the smell of lemon or orange zest, or citrus juice.


Such a marinade penetrates the structure of meat very well, saturates it with a new taste, and in finished form it acquires completely new taste properties. So, if you "fantasy" with the ingredients, you may not even understand what kind of meat we eat. But it turns out delicious! Unusualness and piquancy captivate, and make you return to such recipes again and again.

"Sharp" way

As a rule, such options are used if the meat is tough enough, or is on the bone. So, such marinades are often used to prepare spicy wings.


Soy sauce is also used as ingredients, but chili peppers, garlic, mustard, our Russian, or French Dijon mustard are added.

Well, for a balanced taste, honey or sugar can be used. So that the meat does not turn out tough, vegetable oil is added. And for a better smell perception, lemon juice or zest is added.

"Neutral" way

In fact, I don't know if such a category exists. But there are ways to marinade that do not fall under the previous descriptions.

So, for example, you can cook a delicious barbecue using mineral water, onions, spices, salt and pepper. . In today's article, I did not repeat this recipe, for those who are interested, you can follow the link and read how it is done, and why in this case the meat is soft and juicy.


You can also pickle without mineral water, simply using spices, salt, pepper and onions. This is the easiest of all ways.

  • to make the meat juicy and tasty, try to use fresh or chilled chicken
  • if nevertheless your meat is frozen, then in no case do not defrost it in water, or in the microwave. A strong temperature drop will tear the meat fibers and break their structure. The kebab will turn out wadded and not tasty. Defrost chicken only at room temperature
  • cut the meat for barbecue in equal pieces so that it is evenly marinated and fried
  • do not marinate chicken meat for a long time, especially in acidic marinades. It's useless. As a rule, time is enough from 30 minutes to 2 hours
  • I am not a fan of marinating chicken in mayonnaise. It is quite fatty and when heated, carcinogenic substances are released, which are not at all beneficial to health.
  • when you string the meat on skewers, or put it on the grill, be sure to remove the onions and herbs. From heating, they will burn, and this will harm the appearance of the meat, make it ugly. In addition, from their burning, the kebab will be bitter, which will spoil the taste.
  • for coals, use branches of fruit trees or birch. Their smoke has a pleasant smell. Do not use Christmas tree or pine, they have a resinous smell and bitter taste when burned.
  • roast meat over hot coals. The heat should be sufficient for quick frying. If the kebab is on the coals for a long time, the meat will dry out. If a fire breaks out on the coals, it will burn the meat from above and leave it raw inside
  • when frying meat, do not leave the grill. Insidious tongues of flame will now and then break out and burn the meat. Prepare a water bottle ahead of time to extinguish them.
  • if the coals are barely smoldering and the heat is not enough, wave over them with special “wavers” for such cases so that the heat of the coals is enough. It is better to remove the meat at this moment from the grill
  • as a rule, it is necessary to fry the kebab from 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the cut pieces
  • do everything with pleasure and good mood!


And just so that it always turns out tasty, soft and tender for everyone, today's article will help.

A good marinade can improve the taste and aroma of any meat, making it more tender and juicy, and chicken is no exception. It's hard to believe, but a good marinade can make chicken meat even tastier than beef and pork. Doubt? Then our article is for you.

Chicken marinade is an essential component of cooking meat if you want it to be truly tasty and 100% tender. Moreover, using a new marinade each time, you will always get different dishes from each other, so you will definitely never get tired of the chicken. Since chicken has a neutral flavor, almost any marinade works well with chicken, but soy sauce marinades, mustard marinades, citrus marinades, honey marinades, fermented milk marinades, tomato marinades and marinades with using wine. If you really want exotic, marinating chicken in coconut milk will inhale the aroma of the tropics into it. Chicken marinade is a great way to enrich the taste of meat, making it sweet and spicy, soft creamy, sour or with a “light” at your discretion.

Chicken meat is very tender, so it usually does not involve the use of "aggressive" ingredients in marinades, such as vinegar or fruits with high acidity. If they are added, then in limited quantities to give the meat certain flavor notes. Spices and herbs that go well with chicken meat include ground black pepper, paprika, turmeric, curry, cumin, ginger, oregano, basil, thyme, and rosemary. The average marinating time for chicken is 2 to 4 hours. It is better to marinate a whole bird for about 8 hours, leaving it in the refrigerator overnight. The longer the chicken is marinated, the more tender and juicy the meat will turn out. Marinades using soy sauce, which are so popular in cooking chicken, should be especially salted, as salt is already present in the sauce. Do not forget that meat must be marinated in glass or enameled dishes - aluminum and plastic are not suitable for such purposes.

Aged in the marinade, chicken skewers acquire an amazing aroma, and the taste of chicken becomes bright and original. Also, after using the marinade, the chicken becomes softer, more tender and juicier.

Ingredients:

  • 1 kilogram of chicken meat;
  • half a glass of whey (kefir, yogurt, sour milk);
  • half a teaspoon of dry garlic;

  • a quarter teaspoon of ground black pepper;
  • half a teaspoon of curry;
  • 1 teaspoon sweet pepper (paprika);
  • a quarter teaspoon of salt.

The most delicious marinade for chicken. Step by step recipe

  1. In order for the chicken dish to turn out perfect, you need to choose high-quality meat and choose the right marinade.
  2. It is also very important to choose the duration of pickling. If you want to marinate a whole carcass, then it is best to marinate it the night before.
  3. It will take significantly less time to marinate individual parts of the chicken. If you have wings, breast or loin, then leave to marinate for an hour. For the thighs and lower legs, it will take more time - from two to four hours.
  4. We turn to the preparation of the most delicious marinade for chicken. First you need to prepare a convenient bowl for pickling chicken.
  5. Pour the whey into a bowl. You can use any fermented milk product: kefir, curdled milk, sour milk and even unsweetened yogurt.
  6. An important point in the preparation of the marinade is the choice of dishes. You need to marinate the meat in a dish that does not oxidize. It can be enameled dishes (enamelled dishes must be free of cracks and chips, otherwise the meat may acquire an unpleasant metallic taste). Glass and ceramic dishes, special plastic dishes for cold foods, or stainless steel dishes also work well.
  7. It is not necessary to marinate meat in aluminum dishes: exposure to marinade leads to oxidation - and this will give the barbecue an unpleasant aftertaste.
  8. In a bowl of whey, add a quarter teaspoon of red ground hot pepper (chili), one teaspoon of sweet pepper (paprika), a quarter teaspoon of ground black pepper, half a teaspoon of dried garlic, half a teaspoon of curry and a quarter teaspoon of salt.
  9. You can add all the spices to your taste: depending on how spicy the dish you want to get.
  10. The most versatile of spices is pepper: we add it, probably, to every dish. But chili pepper, which gives spiciness, must be added in doses: the more you use it, the spicier the dish will be.
  11. Spicy herbs are very good for chicken: sage, mint, marjoram, thyme, basil and rosemary. You can use only one bright taste, or you can make an original mix of flavors of all herbs. All of these herbs pair well with coriander and ginger, which are sure to enhance the flavor of the chicken.
  12. Turmeric can give a very interesting taste to chicken: you need to add it to the marinade in a small amount. The turmeric will also give the chicken a golden crust.
  13. Mix all ingredients thoroughly.
  14. If you wish, you can add a teaspoon with a slide of granular mustard to the marinade.
  15. Put the chicken into the resulting marinade. You can knead the chicken well with your hands so that the marinade can be better absorbed. After that, put oppression on the meat (for this I use a plate or a jar of water) and let it brew in the marinade for at least three hours.
  16. In order for my chicken to be well saturated with marinade, I try to cook it in the evening - and leave it in the refrigerator overnight.
  17. I really like to make soy sauce for ready-made barbecue. To do this, you need to use mayonnaise, soy sauce, garlic and, if desired, you can add black ground pepper. We take the sauce and add mayonnaise to it, in a ratio of one to three: mix well and put garlic and pepper to taste.
