Now that the days are getting shorter and colder, I sometimes long for the summer nights where I would fire up the grill and BBQ to my heart’s content. This recipe is one of my favorite chicken marinades that I tend to use in the winter as well on roast chicken hoping that the flavor reminds me of warmer days.
Spicy BBQ Chicken
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon oregano
1 teaspoon salt (optional)
juice of 1 lime
2 teaspoons honey
3 teaspoons Tabasco pepper sauce
2 teaspoons paprika
2 teaspoons Lea & Perrins Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
splash of olive oil
squirt of Heinz tomato ketchup
8-10 chicken pieces (such as drumsticks and thighs)
Mix all the ingredients, except the chicken, in a bowl and stir well. If too hot, add an additional squirt or two of ketchup or more lime to cut the heat. Arrange the chicken in a single layer in a large ovenproof dish and pour the marinade over. Leave the chicken to marinate for an hour.
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Roast the chicken for 45–50 minutes, then serve with a side of rice or roast potatoes.
