Marinades & Rubs

Orange ~ Garlic Poultry Marinade

March 28, 2013

by Curt

I’m always trying different flavor combinations for marinating chicken breasts when smoking them. I’ve used orange juice on pork and beef, and decided to see how it would be on chicken.

I kept it nice and simple by using just a few ingredients. The Soy sauce adds some saltiness to it, and the garlic adds, well, garlic flavor, which is my favorite!

This turned out way better than I hoped. I believe I found my new #1 favorite chicken marinade for smoked chicken breasts.

Orange ~ Garlic Poultry Marinade

Ingredients

2 cups frozen concentrate orange juice (no water added)
1/2 cup Soy Sauce
1 Tablespoon garlic powder

Preparation

Rinse and remove the skin and excess fat from the chicken breasts. Put them into a plastic bag and set aside.
Mix the marinade ingredients together. (Remember, do not add water to the orange juice!). Pour the marinade over the chicken breasts inside the plastic bag, remove the excess air and seal tight. Place in a bowl in case of leakage, and refrigerate for 8 hours or over night.

Sweet Cranberry Marinade

December 13, 2012

by Curt

This was originally created for, and used on a beef chuck roast. I think it would also work great on a pork roast. Another easy marinade to prepare using a frozen concentrate juice.

The trick to these marinades are to not add the water into the frozen concentrate. This (pardon the pun), concentrates the flavor and creates a fantastically strong flavor in the meat.

Sweet Cranberry Marinade

Ingredients

1 (12 oz.) cranberry juice frozen concentrate (thawed)
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 Tablespoon olive oil

Preparation

Mix the marinade ingredients together. (Do not add water to the frozen concentrate).
Put the roast of your choice into a ziploc baggie and pour the marinade in with it. Press the air out and seal it up. Marinate this in the refrigerator for 8 hours (Or overnight will work).

Orange Pineapple – Chinese Five Spice Marinade

November 6, 2012

by Curt

What an awesome flavor. I really love using Chinese Five Spice for flavoring meats. And of course, as some of you regular readers have probably noticed, I also love using frozen concentrated juices without adding the water to it. This really concentrates the juice flavor and creates a nice strong flavor. And then of course, the vinegar helps to break down the meat and tenderize things real nice!

This marinade was originally created for pulled pork, but I think this would go well with beef, poultry or fish also!

Orange Pineapple – Chinese Five Spice Marinade

Ingredients

1 can orange pineapple frozen concentrate (thawed)
1/2 cup rice wine vinegar
1 teaspoon Chinese Five Spice

Preparation

Combine the marinade ingredients together (without adding the water to the concentrated juice), and microwave on high for 30 seconds to allow the five spice to dissolve into the liquids.
Place the meat of your choice along with the marinade into a ziploc baggie and marinate for at least 8 hours.

Southwestern Style Spice Rub

by Curt

Here’s a spice rub I created for a southwestern flavor I was looking for. I have used it twice now and have decided it’s proven and good enough to share. I’ve used it on pork and chicken, but I’m sure it would also be awesome on beef.
