Hi there. I don't usually contribute to the Stuff Your Face! blog, however I recently made the most delicious marinade for grilled chicken breasts, and I felt it was imperative that I share it with others. Last Friday evening, I was tasked with marinating the chicken while my husband had band practice. I was like um ... what should I put in it? He replied, "I don't know- how about something with Dijon mustard, brown sugar and vinegar." So I set out to see what I could throw together with what we already had on hand.
We had some leftover Korean BBQ Sauce from a fun experiment of making Ramen burgers a while back (perhaps I can share that with you another time). I remembered the sauce was delicious, so I thought "why not?" It actually states on the bottle it can be used as a marinade just on it's own. So I knew adding all these other ingredients would make mine extra awesome.
I found a simple marinade recipe online to use as a guide and then tweaked it, e.g, substituting honey champagne mustard for regular dijon, etc. Here is what I put together. The recipe below is for approximately 2 lbs of meat. We had almost 4 lbs, so I just doubled my ingredients.
* 1/4 cup Bibigo Korean Pineapple BBQ Sauce (can also just use soy sauce, but this Korean BBQ Sauce is amazing.)
* 1 tsp. Slap Ya Mama Hot Blend Cajun Seasoning (or crushed red peppers. Ever since AgenT gifted me a bottle, I have been putting SYM on EVERYTHING!)
* 1 tsp. garlic (minced) I just used garlic salt as I was in a rush
* 2 tbsp. honey champagne mustard (or Dijon mustard)
* 2 tbsp. Worcestershire Sauce
* 2 tbsp. brown sugar (packed)
* 2 tbsp. white wine vinegar
Whisk all ingredients together in a bowl. Set aside a small amount of marinade for pouring on top after cooked.
You can pour it into a zip lock bag over your meat and refrigerate for up to eight hours. Or if you don't have the time, place your meat in a container, pour half of marinade on top of meats then flip (chicken breasts) and pour remaining on top, massage the marinade into the meat. Refrigerate while you make a salad and any other sides.
Enjoy!
