Ingredients:
3 packages McCormick Baja Citrus Marinade
1 1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup Tee's Smoke Extreme
1/4 cup Tee's Apples To Oranges Citrus Chicken Blend
3 oranges, juiced (or 1 1/2 cups orange juice)
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1 1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup sweet soy sauce (or a mix of molasses and water, optional)
1/4 cup tuna extract or fish sauce
This marinade is enough to flavor over 8 pounds of chicken, making it perfect for family meals or gatherings.
Instructions:
Prepare the Marinade: In a large bowl, mix the McCormick Baja Citrus Marinade with the brown sugar, Tee's Smoke Extreme, and Tee's Apples To Oranges Citrus Chicken Blend. Add the orange juice, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, soy sauce, and sweet soy sauce if using. Stir until well combined.
Marinate the Chicken: Place your chicken into a large resealable bag or container. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Marinate for at least 1 hour, but for deeper flavor, let it sit overnight in the refrigerator.
Grill the Chicken: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. For boneless breasts, butterfly them for quicker grilling. Bone-in pieces will require longer cook times and more frequent turning to prevent burning. Grill until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Serve and Enjoy: Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after grilling to allow the juices to redistribute. Serve and enjoy the deliciously flavored chicken that brings together the tang of citrus and the depth of Tee’s seasonings.
This Baja Citrus Grilled Chicken, featuring Tee's Smoke Extreme and Apples To Oranges Citrus Chicken Blend, adds a delightful kick to any meal. Perfect for dinners, special occasions, or whenever you crave a burst of flavor.
