Mustard Onion Marinade
Instructions
Step 1
Start by purchasing **3 kilograms of chicken breast**, which is about **6.5 pounds**. Divide the chicken into **four parts** and cut it into various sizes. You can create **small pieces** for stir-fry, salads, or wraps, and **large pieces** for grilling kebabs.
Another option is to slice the fillets for quick frying or breading. This preparation makes the chicken a versatile ingredient for many dishes.
Step 2
Once cut, you can **vacuum seal** the chicken and store it in the refrigerator. Alternatively, for longer preservation, freeze the portions. When you are ready to use them, simply thaw the chicken in the refrigerator well in advance to allow it to marinate properly.
Step 3
In a mixing bowl, combine **400 milliliters of kefir**, the **3 minced garlic cloves**, and the **small bunch of finely chopped cilantro**. Add **25 milliliters of apple cider vinegar** and salt to taste. Mix well to create a smooth marinade.
Marinate the chicken pieces in this mixture for at least **2 hours**, ideally overnight, to enhance the flavor and tenderness of the meat.
Step 4
To prepare this spicy marinade, mix **4 tablespoons of adjika** with one small bunch of finely chopped cilantro in a bowl. Add **2 teaspoons of paprika**, **2 teaspoons of seasoning mix**, olive oil, and salt to taste. Stir until all ingredients are well combined.
Use this marinade on the chicken and let it sit for **1 to 2 hours** before cooking. The spices will help infuse the meat with a wonderful flavor.
Step 5
In another bowl, combine **25 milliliters of soy sauce**, some **sweet chili sauce** to your liking, and olive oil. Add **3 tablespoons of sesame seeds**, **15 grams of grated ginger**, and the **3 minced garlic cloves**. Mix thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are incorporated.
This marinade is best left on the chicken for at least **30 minutes**, allowing the garlic and ginger to permeate the meat for an intense flavor.
Step 6
To prepare the mustard onion marinade, combine **1 tablespoon of mustard**, approximately **30 grams of mayonnaise**, and the **small blended onion** in a bowl. Add salt according to your taste preferences. Whisk everything together until smooth.
Marinate the chicken for **1 hour** with this mixture to achieve a rich and creamy flavor profile.

Having a couple of mixing bowls is handy for preparing your marinades. Opt for glass or stainless steel to ensure durability and easy cleaning.
Airtight containers are great for marinating chicken as they keep the chicken fresh while allowing flavors to infuse. Choose vacuum-sealed bags for freezing.
Variations
Faq
- What is the best way to cut chicken for marinating?
For even marinade absorption, cut your chicken into even, bite-sized pieces. This allows the flavors to penetrate better and ensures quick cooking.
- How long should I marinate the chicken?
Marinate your chicken for at least 30 minutes to 2 hours for the best results. The longer, the better, but avoid marinating for more than 24 hours to prevent the texture from becoming mushy.
- Can I freeze marinated chicken?
Absolutely! Marinated chicken can be frozen for up to three months. Just remember to label the container with the date and type of marinade.
- Is it safe to reuse marinade after marinating chicken?
It's generally not safe to reuse the marinade, especially if it has come into direct contact with raw chicken. Always discard the marinade.
- What are some additional spices I can add to my marinades?
Experiment with spices like cumin, coriander, or even citrus zest to add a unique twist to your dish!
- How can I ensure my chicken stays juicy while cooking?
Cooking at a consistent temperature and avoiding overcooking is key. Consider using a meat thermometer to check doneness without drying it out.
