Asian Marinade

This Asian Marinade is so versatile. Yes it’s great for all cuts of chicken, but it’s also perfect with pork, shrimp and fish.

Description: Sesame, Ginger, and Soy are the star ingredients in our Asian Marinade. Rice Vinegar and Chili Crisp Oil bring the acid and heat, while garlic is the key aromatic. This marinade is generally mellow, yet smells and taste like your favorite Asian dishes. 

Ingredients: 1/4 cup soy sauce (or coconut aminos), 3 Tbl. sesame oil, 2 Tbl. rice vinegar, 1 Tbl. chili crisp oil (or sriracha hot sauce), 2 garlic cloves (minced), 1-inch piece fresh ginger (peeled & minced)

Instructions: Combine marinade ingredients in a zipper top bag or large bowl. Add chicken and turn pieces to coat well. Marinate in the refrigerator according to guidelines below. Remove from refrigerator and allow to come to room temperature before cooking, about 15 minutes.

Time to Marinate: It’s best to give chicken breasts 5-6 hours, chicken thighs will take on flavor in as little as 30 minutes but up to 2 hours, and whole chickens can be marinated overnight. For shrimp or salmon a quick 15-20 minute marinade is sufficient.
