That is a favorite for DH & DS. It's a little too sweet for me, but I make it when I am feeling extra loving that day!:chef: I got the recipe from the local paper several years ago. I usually serve it with buttered egg noodles or brown rice cooked in chicken broth, along with a veggie.SWEET SOUR SAUCE FOR CHICKEN LEGS AND THIGHS1 Cup Ketchupsklay723 said:My grandmother used to make an awesome sauce using ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar (just a small touch) and chopped onion. Then she'd cover the chicken with it in a casserole dish and bake it in the oven. I don't know the exact temp or length of time though. Works great on pork chops, too.
Some popular marinade ideas for chicken include a simple mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs, a teriyaki marinade with soy sauce, brown sugar, and pineapple juice, and a spicy marinade with chili paste, lime juice, and honey. Other options include using yogurt, buttermilk, or beer as a base for the marinade.
The length of time for marinating meat can vary depending on the type of meat and the thickness of the cut. Typically, chicken and fish can be marinated for 30 minutes to 2 hours, while beef and pork can be marinated for 2-4 hours. It is not recommended to marinate meat for longer than 24 hours as it can become too tender and lose its texture.
It is generally not recommended to reuse marinade that has come into contact with raw meat. The marinade can contain harmful bacteria from the raw meat and can potentially cause foodborne illness. If you want to use the marinade as a sauce, it is best to set aside some before adding the meat or to make a separate batch.
The best way to determine if your meat is fully marinated is to check the color and texture. The meat should be evenly coated in the marinade and have a slightly darker color. You can also do a small taste test to see if the meat has absorbed the flavors of the marinade. If you are unsure, it is always better to err on the side of caution and marinate for a bit longer.
Yes, you can freeze meat in a marinade. This can be a great time-saving technique for meal prep. Make sure to use a freezer-safe container and leave enough space for the marinade to expand as it freezes. When ready to use, thaw the meat in the refrigerator and then cook it according to your desired method.
