Seasoning Chicken

SweetKumquat

Hi folks!

I love playing around with different ways to cook or season chicken! Looking from inspiration from you all!!

What's your favorite seasoning combo for chicken?

Have you stepped away from your favorite and tried something new that was surprisingly delicious? If so what is it?

Let me know!!!!
Thank you all ☺
Have a wonderful day/night

Roughly equal parts honey, low sodium soy sauce and olive oil. Add granulated garlic and onion powder (or onion salt) to taste. I mix it in the bottom of a big ziploc, squeezing it and tipping it side to side and then add chicken. I try to squeeze most of the air out of the bag so all the chicken stays pretty well coated, but I still flip the bag. I usually do it one night and cook it the next night, flipping the bag in the morning. I foil line my pan and pretty much pour the bag in, including the extra sauce, I usually am cooking whole skinless breasts and I do 425 for 30 minutes.

oh yeah, something unusual that was good - we had a mystery partial bottle of Stubbs Citrus and Onion chicken marinade in the fridge. I think my eldest must have used it in a recipe; neither my wife or I bought it. I figured I would give it a shot one night and it was surprisingly good.

Tonight I made chicken and used a balsamic vinaigrette dressing on it because I didn't have anything else. It was surprisingly good. Next time I would probably put some garlic in it as well.

Salt and pepper

Lemon and salt or 1:1 solution of soy sauce and white vinegar with minced Thai hot pepper and onion.

always looking for a way to make chicken more appealing! @CarvedTones that honey mixture marinade sounds different and delicious!

Recently: marinating in dill pickle juice, then sprinkling with dried dill before cooking.

I always pound my boneless, skinless chicken breasts to make them a constistent thickness. They cook a lot more evenly.

Salt and pepper with paprika. Chicken thighs are especially tasty with this simple combo.

I'm lazy. We use Italian salad dressing to marinade our chicken almost every time and it always comes out well. Perfect for chicken going on the grill!

I love Italian dressing marinade! So easy, lol. Another one I've been doing is a Greek yogurt marinade. You take greek yogurt, a bit of lemon juice, either ranch or Italian seasoning. Marinade for 20mins to an hour or so. Put it on the grill, or in the oven at about 425 for 30 mins or until cooked through.

Yaassss to the pickle juice marinade. So delicious. We go through a lot of pickles in my house so I usually have it on hand.

I'm a seasoning dumper. I often just grab some seasoning and dump it on whatever I'm cooking. Haven't had anything too bad yet.

Recently: garlic powder, lemon pepper, Fox Pointe seasoning from Penzey's and paprika. Yesterday I cooked boneless chicken thighs in the crockpot with pesto. They're perfect for a salad today.

Take boneless skinless chicken ( thinly sliced)season with McCormick Montreal chicken seasoning (both sides)
Heat pan w/ lil butter& oil seer on each side to browned
Take out of pan & seer asparagus with S/P 4 minutes
Put asparagus on top of chicken then put mozzarella cheese on top of asparagus
Melt cheese....yum

If using boneless, skinless breasts, brine them. They'll actually be juicy.

I use a lot of Penzey's spice blends. They have both salt-free and salted blends. Pretty tasty, especially their BBQ rubs, Tandoori and hot curry blends, and Foxpoint (garlic/shallot base).

I also like to make pizza chicken, and it's pretty low in calories - saute thin sliced boneless/skinless breasts, simmer in a crushed tomatoes with garlic/basil/oregano (or use your favorite jarred sauce) until cooked through, top with 3 or 4 thin slices of pepperoni, mushrooms, and a little shredded mozzarella and broil for a minute until everything is melty.
It also takes about 15 minutes for prep + cooking, which is awesome. We usually have a side of pasta and roasted broccoli with it.

I use all sorts, I keep a cupboard full of herbs and spices.

I've got some marinading in the fridge in
2 tablespoons of balsamic
1 crushed garlic clove
A pinch of chilli flakes
A pinch of garam masala
A diced onion
Roughly 100g of sliced mushrooms.
Roughly 150g Shredded cabbage
Roughly 60g grated carrot

Ready for my husband to stir fry tonight in a touch of water rather than oil.

Just get inventive with what you have. Crumbled stock cube with a pinch of mixed herbs is a favourite as well.

SweetKumquat

I want to try every single one of these!!

I dice a chicken breast. Fry it in butter. And then add franks hot sauce and fry a little more awesome! If you like buffalo sauce!

I love using Old Bay. Easy, simple, and the chicken comes out delicious every single time. It works well with both boneless, skinless chicken breasts and bone-in, skin-on split chicken breasts. I'm sure it'd work just as well as thighs and legs. I either roast them in the oven, or preferably, grill them over charcoal or gas....determined by the weather.

I think the more seasonings you put on chicken, the better. Chicken itself is so bland. I have a rub that has thyme, basil, garlic powder, crushed red pepper, cumin, sea salt, black pepper, and a little chili powder. And none of that adds any calories (I don't think).

If you want to blow your mind, add a bit of honey and some parmesan cheese to your buffalo sauce.

Agree, but I am picky about it - Walkerswood jerk seasoning from Jamaica; the wet rub in the glass jar.

What great suggestions!

Salsa and cheese in the crockpot with chicken or even pork. Add black beans for more oomph.

I like Trader Joe's Chili Lime spice, and also use paprika because it makes the chicken look more appetizing.

Have you tried chicken cordon bleu? We do a very unsophisticated version sometimes by sticking some mozzarella in the middle and wrapping with ham. If we’re feeling fancy we do an egg / bread crumb coating and bake.

Other that that, I love cooking thin sliced chicken in sesame oil in a wok on high heat with some Otajoy sauce and stir fry veg. So good!
