There is a method of cooking meat, in which it is marinated in a mixture of salt, pepper, thyme and other coarsely ground spices. They are rubbed into the surface of meat or fish, creating a layer of seasoning that gives the dish an extraordinary taste and aroma. Seasoned marinated meats are popular in Jamaican, Texan and French cuisines. The chicken in the seasoning mixture can be grilled, pan-fried, or over an open fire. This article will show you how to marinate chicken in seasonings.

Steps

1. 1 Find a recipe that suits your taste. Chicken is marinated differently in different parts of the world, there is no universal recipe for marinade from spices.
2. 2 Defrost the chicken if needed. For best results, refrigerate for 24 hours before marinating. This will defrost it more evenly than in the microwave.
3. 3 Combine the seasonings in a small bowl. Here's an example of a southern barbecue chicken seasoning.
   • Mix 1 cup (200 g) brown sugar, 3 tbsp. l. mustard powder, 2 tbsp. l. garlic powder, 2 tbsp. l. onion powder, 2 tsp. salt, ¼ tsp. cayenne pepper, 1 ½ tsp. Chipolte (smoked red jalapeno pepper).
4. 4 Whisk all ingredients thoroughly.
5. 5 Remove the chicken from the refrigerator.
6. 6 Dry the chicken with a paper towel.
7. 7 Sprinkle the seasoning on all sides of the chicken.
8. 8 Rub the seasoning into the chicken to cover the outside with the seasoning completely.
   • It is not necessary to marinate the whole chicken. You can marinate brisket, chicken legs, wings, drumsticks, etc. If you are cooking whole chicken, you can cut it into pieces before rubbing in the spices to help the meat soak.
9. 9 Cover the chicken with plastic wrap.
10. 10 Place it in the refrigerator for 8-24 hours.
    • If you can't keep the chicken overnight, you can refrigerate it for an hour. The longer it is marinated, the better it will absorb the taste and aroma of spices.
11. 11 Heat your grill to medium (or slightly lower) heat.
12. 12 Remove the chicken from the refrigerator 15 minutes before baking it.
13. 13 Place the chicken on the grill for 15-20 minutes. The meat will be ready when it is not pink on the inside.
    • Alternatively, you can pass the chicken in oil in a skillet.You can also fry the chicken for 5 minutes on a grill or pan and then send it to the oven to bake at 180 degrees for 20-40 minutes.
14. 14 Remove the chicken from the oven and serve immediately.
15. 15 Bon Appetit!

Tips

• Prepare the seasoning mixture in advance, store it in an airtight jar in a dark place. It will be close at hand next time you need it.
• Most marinade mixes can be used in beef, pork, and fish.

Warnings

• When cooking chicken, cover it well and cook so that it lies on one surface, separate from the rest of the food. This is to prevent the spread of the bacteria Salmonella and Campylobacter. When you are finished cooking, wipe the area where you cooked with an antibacterial agent.
• When making the mixture, do not use too much salt: its taste can overpower the rest of the spices.
