I have used many different chicken marinades over the years and just recently came across a delicious marinade that I know will have every person asking what’s in it after they taste it! The inspiration came from Bella Davy, a self acclaimed chef and creator of group, Cooking Kosher with Bella. I have adjusted certain ingredients and their amounts as well as added an ingredient or two to make it my own. Finally found the Holy Grail chicken marinades!
INGREDIENTS:
1 whole Chicken, Butterflied
3 cloves garlic minced
1/4 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 Tbsp Organic Dried Parsley
1/2 tsp Organic Ground Turmeric
1-1/2 tsp Organic Smoked Paprika
1/2 tsp ground coriander
1/4 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp zatar spice
1/4 tsp sea salt
1 lemon, juiced
1 sweet onion, chopped coarsely
1 roasting bag
DIRECTIONS:
Mix all ingredients except for onion in a small bowl. Using a 9×13 foil pan or baking dish, place the roasting bag inside. Add the onions inside the bag. In a separate large bowl, add your chicken and marinade mixture. Massage it evenly to all areas of the chicken and put it in the refrigerator up to an hour (if short on time can be baked immediately). Finally add the chicken to your roasting bag. Seal tightly with string. Make 4-6 small cuts with scissors on top of the plastic for steam to escape. Roast at 400F for about an hour and 15-20 minutes depending on how big your chicken is.
