• Put the chicken and the marinade in a wok or a large deep sauté pan, add the whole garlic cloves and the chunks of white onion
• Cook over low medium heat, should be lightly boiling most of the time, for about 1 ½ hours or until the liquid starts to reduce, stir occasionally.

5 EASY CHICKEN MARINADE RECIPES

Steps:

• Combine marinade ingredients in a bowl and stir.
• Pick flat container, baking dish or reusable silicone bag so chicken can lay flat for maximum flavor penetration.
• Place chicken in a container, pour marinade over and mix to coat well.
• Marinating time is anywhere from 30 minutes to 24 hours. Longer marinating time means more flavor but I wouldn't marinate past 24 hours because acid will cause flesh to break down.
• When ready to cook, remove chicken from marinade and cook as per recipes.
