"A great marinade for 2 inexpensive cuts of chicken. Throw the chicken in the marinade in the morning; and, ... on the grill, that night. The flavor is amazing. Yes, there are a few ingredients; but, there is nothing, that is NOT available at any local grocery store - and, probably already in your pantry. I finish the dish with fresh papaya. An easy dish; but, full of flavor."

Step by Step Method

Step 1

Marinade ... Add all the ingredients to a small bowl or measuring cup and mix to combine. Now, I love a ziploc bag to marinate - no clean up. But, you can also use a glass bowl too. Add the marinade and chicken to a ziploc bag, close, and shake - that simple. If using a bowl, make sure to mix the chicken so it is coated well; then, cover with plastic wrap. Marinate at least 4 hours, up to all day.

Step 2

Chicken ... Remove the chicken from the marinade; and, let it come to room temperature on the counter. Pat the chicken dry using a paper towel; then, season with salt and pepper.

Step 3

Grill ... Make sure to oil your grill well - whether you use a indoor or outdoor grill. Cook/grill the chicken on each side, until you get a nice char. Depending on the size of the thighs and drumsticks, your cooking time can vary from 12-20 minutes.
