My favorite approach to chicken is a flavorful marinade!
Many approach poultry by brining, but for me brining (unless super aggressive for a condensed period and left to air dry in the fridge overnight) yields a finished product with a texture a little weird.
Here is my all-time favorite chicken marinade recipe.
Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons White Miso
- 1 Tablespoon Chopped Rosemary
- 1 Clove Garlic, minced
- 2 Lemons, zested and juiced
- 1 Tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- Kosher Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- Pinch of Red Chile Flakes
Combine all ingredients, whisking. Add chicken, whatever cut you would like, preferably with the skin on, so you can have even more texture later, especially if you pan roast in a cast iron skillet. Marinate 1 hour to overnight! Cook.
