A couple years ago a friend of mine invited me and my family over for a backyard pool party and barbecue. Of course, everybody had a great time.
What made that day at Andy’s house particularly memorable was the grilled chicken he served. It was the best-tasting grilled chicken I ever had — bar none.
The secret, as they say, was in the sauce that he used. It was light, fresh and savory; a perfect blend of flavors that complemented the chicken without over-powering it.
Fortunately, Andy was more than happy to share the recipe to me, and now I’m going to pass it on to you.
This recipe is the bomb!
It’s a marinade that’s created specifically for grilled chicken on the barbecue. Best of all it’s extremely easy to make! In fact, it takes all of two minutes to throw together.
Give it a try and then let me know if you love it as much as I do.
Andy’s Grilled Chicken Marinade for the Barbecue
½ cup corn oil or canola oil
¾ cup apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon salt
2 ½ teaspoons poultry seasoning
¼ teaspoon pepper
1 egg
Directions: Mix ingredients in blender, or whisk vigorously, until completely mixed. Marinate the chicken for 30 to 60 minutes in the refrigerator and then grill immediately. This recipe makes enough marinade for 2 chickens.

Have a happy 4th everyone.
You too, Griper!
Sounds interesting but I’ll have to keep it on my list of recipes to try! Thanks for the tip.
You won’t regret it, Lance. Have a great holiday!
Sounds good. I wonder what’s in ‘poultry seasoning’? Eau de peck, peck???
Have a great 4th with your family!
Happy 4th to you and yours too, Dr. Dean!
You know, I’ve heard poultry seasoning consists of equal parts ground rosemary, sage, thyme, celery seed, pepper and marjoram. Of course, it’s much easier to just buy the actual poultry seasoning spice at the store.
Please, folks, don’t ask me what marjoram is — although I think I went to school with a girl named Marjoram.
Marjoram is a spice from the Mediterranean — mostly from Egypt. It is very similar to oregano in that these spices come from different species of the Origanum genus, but marjoram has a milder flavor.
Poultry Seasoning is a catch-all name for a mixture of spices that goes well with … wait for it … wait for it …. POULTRY.
There are many variations of ‘poutry seasoning’. Most include a mixture of sage, rosemary, thyme, marjoram and pepper; and may also include nutmeg, parsley, onion powder, or celery seed.
Thanks, Allyn!
3 tbl spoons ketchup
1 tbl spoon honey
1 tbl spoon mustard
1 tea spoon smoked paprika
Make a great spicy marinade or just a sauce for dip
Enjoy
Thanks, Fubar. I’ll give it a go!
This sounds delicious, I’m definitely going to try it. What kind of sides do you serve the chicken with?
It varies, Bryan, but the kids always insist mac & cheese is included.
Thanks for sharing Len! I just copied the recipe and plan on trying it for our next summer bbq.
Enjoy, Dan!
I’d like to try this marinade, but I don’t understand what 2 chicken mean. Are they *whole* birds or cut up pieces of 2 chicken? Would they work for chicken breasts though they tend to be more dry meat.
Daira, the recipe is enough to marinate up to 14 – 16 pieces of chicken: 4 legs, 4 thighs, 4 wings, and 2 whole breasts (or 4 split breasts). I hope I’m not forgetting any of the major parts!
ok, I made this and i’m not impressed
I’m sorry you didn’t enjoy it, Karen.
