A standard set of freshly ground pepper, salt and onion rings will certainly make a great company for almost any meat, but for those looking for variety, we have collected three interesting marinades in which you can immerse chicken for an hour or two before frying.

Beer marinade

A small amount of foam will fit not only for washing down chicken kebabs, but also for pickling it. The safest base can be a regular lager, but fans of the rich caramel flavor must stock up on a separate bottle of stout specifically for the marinade.

Pour beer into a saucepan and set to simmer over high heat until the volume of liquid in the container is halved. A similar procedure is necessary to remove alcohol from the drink and concentrate its taste. Add orange juice, zest, apple cider vinegar, garlic passed through a press, as well as oil and salt with pepper to the rest of the beer.

In a beer marinade, a chicken can spend from 2 to 24 hours.

Hot and sweet marinade

A spicy-sweet Asian marinade is best used for marinating parts of a bird with skin: thighs, wings, drumsticks. After roasting or baking, the surface will be covered with an appetizing glossy glaze.

For this simple marinade, just mix soy sauce with orange juice, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, ginger and hot pepper.

After 20 minutes after immersion in the marinade, the chicken can be taken out and cooked. During cooking, it is recommended to grease the poultry with the remains of the mixture.

Yoghurt marinade

Yoghurt marinade makes any meat softer and juicier, and therefore is suitable for cooking not only poultry, but also lamb, for example.

Here everything is just as elementary simply mixed: Greek yogurt (or low-fat sour cream), chopped parsley, paprika, a little cayenne pepper, garlic and salt. Ready!

After mixing the marinade with chicken, leave it in the refrigerator for half an hour to a whole day.

Recipes

Marinades will be enough to cook 500 grams of chicken.
