Asian BBQ Chicken Marinade
If you can image that a rooster from India and a roasting hen from Japan had a love child. This Asian BBQ Chicken Marinade would be that live child. It’s a perfect blend of the curry from India and the Teriyaki umami from Japan and the very most important attribute is that it’s easy to make.
The more time you can allow the chicken to marinate is the key for any protein to really take on its marinades flavor. I have tried this recipe with chicken breasts, chicken wings (a delight) and thighs. I find thighs to be a little less expensive in the mega-marts and they stay juicer through the grilling process. However, this marinade makes any part of the bird a fantastic flavor treat!
