Ginger-Lime Marinade for Chicken

“I used this marinade for 4 large thighs (bone in)and then baked them for approx an hour, it really is delicious, the chicken was very moist and the flavours worked really well together. Thanks for yet another fabulous recipe Bergy!”

“I made this for a summer cookout and all of the guests really liked it.The chicken was very moist and juicy and the flavor was great.I will definitly use this alot.Thanks!”

“This is our favorite for kabobs!”

“Good flavor. Next time I’m going to double the marinade though. I also like to put more lime juice on the chicken once it comes off grill.”

“I mixed the marinade and pour it in a ziplock bad with 7 drumsticks.Threw it in the freezer.Today,I took it out,baked it at 375 for 45 minutes.Incredible chicken, moist, tender and tastes great without being too overpowering by the soy sauce flavor.Keeper file for me.”

“I made this for a family bbq a couple nights ago. The recipe was very easy to put together. I made kabobs with chunks of onion, green pepper & red pepper & everyone has requested the recipe. I’ll post photos when I get home & can upload them. Thanks for posting, Bergy! Update: Made this recipe again & used it on thin strips of pork tenderloin.Excellent!The pork was extremely tender & moist.”

“Very tasty marinade that I used for 3 large (bone in) chicken breasts. I served the chicken cold in a salad with mango and spinach. Yum! This combination of flavours is really very good. Thanks!”

“This is a great marinade.I marinated boneless skinless chicken thighs overnight.Thanks Bergy :)Made for Name that ingredient tag game”

“Delicious! I only used 1 tablespoon of ginger as I was a little nervous having that much ginger in it, but I think it would have been fine. Will use all of it next time! I made kabobs with the chicken, and added red pepper, onion and tomato. It was excellent!
Thanks for a great marinade!”

“I would give this 2 stars except that I fully admit that I might be the reason it was screwed up. I didn’t notice that I was supposed to be processing/blending until I had already dumped all the ingredients in a bowl, so I just whisked it. This might have affected the flavor which was, well, nonexistent. The marinade smelled great but after cooking the chicken tasted like plain chicken. This was for bone-in legs after 24 hours of marinating.”

“Loved this.I used a 2 pound pork tenderloin and per the permission of Bergy used this marinade.Absolutely excellent.I did however add more garlic (about 4 cloves and used the zest of about 3 limes.My tenderloin turned out so moist and juicy.I cooked it in a 400 degree oven for about one hour and 20 minutes uncovered.Thanks so much Bergy.Made for the Diabetic Forum Heart Healthy Tag Event :)”

“This is a really tasty marinade that I can’t wait to use for summer bbq’ing. In the meantime,it came together quickly, and provided a nice taste for my boneless chicken breasts.They were juicy and flavourful. Made for Heart Healthy Tag in the Diabetic Forum-Feb’10.”

“Really yummy flavor, and super easy to put together.My food processor is broken so I just minced/diced everything up and whisked it together.I also added an finely diced jalapeno pepper to the mix for some spice.It tasted great after marinating 2 hours.I baked my boneless thighs in the oven at 375 for 45 minutes and it was super tasty.Served it over saffron rice.I added a lot more ginger than it called for as well, I love ginger!”

“Pretty good marinade. I gave it 3 stars, my brother gave it 4. My 3 & 7 yrs. old didn’t like it so much…ginger is an acquired taste I guess. Used boned pieces and followed directions, marinated it about 5 hours, grilled. Will make again for hubby. Thanks”

“A pretty good marinade (I love the lime flavour!) but I still feel like it is missing something. I marinated my chicken for about 7 hours and I definitely wouldn’t have done any longer. I think the acids had partially cooked the chicken, which changed the texture somewhat.”

“This is an outstanding marinade for chicken.It’s great without any variations and ripe for tons of possibilities.. I have to say the second time I added a little here and there; serrano peppers, cilantro, scallions and apricot preserves.Whatever you do, this marinade does not disappoint and is so easy!”

“This was yummy! I marinated chicken chunks for 6 hours and the flavor was great. I was confused on the 1 grated lime peel. Is that just one piece? The peel of a whole lime? I just decided to zest one lime before I juiced it. It’s no big deal but when using citrus I like to follow the recipe to a T. Sometimes a little more a little less can make a big difference in the taste. I had the leftovers in my salad today. Thanks Bergy!”

“Mmmmmmm…. I cannot believe I forgot to review this FABULOUS recipe!! 5++++ in our book. The marinated chicken was so flavorful and juicy, the veggies fresh and crisp. I served with jasmine rice and a greek salad. THANKS for a new family favorite; I think we’ll have this again tonight!”

“We loved the taste of this marinade.Both times I used skinless drumsticks and let them marinate all day.Then baked in the oven for 30 minutes in the marinade and finished them on the outdoor grill.Served with roast vegetables. I didn’t have enough soy sauce so I used mixture of soy and oyster sauce. Perfect.Thank you.”
