TANGY CHICKEN BBQ MARINADE

Categories     Chicken     Low Carb     Grill/Barbecue

Yield depends on how many chickens you cook

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 egg, well beaten
1/2 cup olive oil
1 cup apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoons of salt
4 cloves of garlic, minced
2 tablespoons of the following fresh herbs, chopped fine:
rosemary
sage
parsley
thyme
1/2 tsp fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Put cut up chicken in a deep bowl. Cover with marinade. Let the chicken marinade for up to 2 hours. Turn pieces ocassionally so that all pieces get evenly marinaded. Don't marinade for longer than 2 hours, because the chicken will get too tangy (unless you like really tangy chicken). Remove from the bowl when ready to grill, shaking off as much of the oil as you can. Grill on a BBQ over evenly hot coals, but watch for flaring because the oil dripping on the coals can cause a problem with that.
