Grilled Curry Chicken Marinade
This is one of my favourite chicken marinades. The ingredients might seem a little weird (mustard? curry?), but wow do they work! Super flavourful, with just the right amount of sweet and spice, this is sure to become your new favourite marinade!!
Servings: 6 people
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp honey
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp curry powder
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp fresh ground pepper
- 6 portions chicken breast chicken thighs would also work!
- fresh lime wedges and cilantro optional garnish
Instructions
- Add all marinade ingredients, except garnishes, to a jar or bowl and shake or whisk to combine.
- Add 6 portions of meat of choice to a large ziplock bag (or container of choice). If you plan on putting the meat on skewers, cut into cubes before marinating. Press all the air out of the bag and massage the marinade into the meat. Lay flat to freeze, or allow at least 30 minutes (up to 24 hours) to marinate in the fridge before grilling.
- Preheat grill to 400F and grill meat according to its cook time, splitting the cook time per side of the meat. For uniform pieces of meat like chicken, steak, or pork chops I like to cook 2/3 of the time on one side and the remaining 1/3 of time on the other. For example, Chicken breasts take about 8 minutes to cook so I do 5 minutes on one side and 3 minutes on the remaining side.
- Once cooked, remove meat from grill to a plate and tent with foil. Allow to rest for at least 5 minutes before serving. Serve with fresh lime wedges and cilantro, if desired. This pairs well with rice, grilled vegetables, Greek Salad with Chickpeas, and/or naan bread.
