Ingredients
Marinade Ingredients
- 60 g BBQ sauce
- 10 g honey
- 5 g paprika
- 2 garlic cloves (6 g), minced
- 10 ml oil
Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients: Mince the garlic cloves finely to ensure even flavor distribution throughout the marinade.
- Mix the marinade: In a bowl, combine BBQ sauce, honey, paprika, minced garlic, and oil. Stir vigorously until the mixture becomes smooth and thick, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Marinate the chicken: Coat your chicken pieces thoroughly with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat deeply. For best results, marinate for 2-4 hours or overnight.
- Cook the chicken: Grill, bake, or pan-fry the marinated chicken until fully cooked and tender, with an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Notes
- Adjust the amount of paprika to control the heat level according to your preference.
- Use fresh garlic for best flavor impact.
- This marinade works well with chicken breasts, thighs, or drumsticks.
- For a thicker glaze during cooking, reserve some marinade to brush on while grilling or baking.
- If baking, preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake the chicken for 25-30 minutes or until cooked through.
