citrus-marinated chicken

August 6, 2013 by Marin Mama 51 Comments

citrus-marinated chickenOk, I have to say that this is one of my favorite chicken recipes ever, and Zoe and Eli both agree with me. We tried this the other night, gave each other the thumbs up, and said that this chicken was totally blog worthy and need to be posted sooner than later. The chicken is SO moist and full of flavor from the citrus marinade, and the skin gets all crispy and yummy from cooking under the broiler. This is seriously going to be one of my new go-to recipes for chicken, and the best part is that it can be made year round because it’s cooked under the broiler. Yippee! You could also grill it up, or even sear it in your cast iron skillet and then bake it off in the oven.  Hey, it’s a flexible chicken recipe!  I can see paring this chicken with some 5-minute roasted cauliflower or 5-minute roasted Brussels sprouts in the fall and kale mashed potatoes in the winter. This chicken is total comfort cooking anytime of year.

This marinade is super simple to throw together and it’s a perfect weeknight recipe, as the marinade only has to sit on the chicken for a minimum of 20 minutes.  You can use either chicken thighs, drumsticks and breasts, or all three if you want.  We used 3 thighs and one chicken breast that the butcher cut in half, so that it would absorb the marinade better. We paired this with the below green bean, mint, dill and feta salad and some french bread one night and some Israeli couscous salad and corn on the cob another night.  I mean it’s chicken, so go ahead and pair it with any of your favorite sides.

citrus-marinated chicken:

recipe from Bon Appetit
serves 4

  • 2 pounds skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs, breasts or legs  – We used 3 thighs and 1 breast that was cut in half so it could absorb the marinade better
  • 3 tablespoons scallions, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 bunch cilantro, leaves and tender stems only
  • 2 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
  • 1 teaspoon finely grated lime zest
  • 1 teaspoon finely grated orange zest
  • 1/4 cup (2 to 3 limes) fresh lime juice
  • 1/4 cup (1 juicy orange) fresh orange juice
  • 1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon coarse kosher salt

Let’s prep all of the ingredients. Thinly slice up the scallions.  

Zest and juice up your limes and orange, wash and chop off the thick ends of the cilantro.

Peel and roughly chop up the garlic.

citrus-marinated chickenGet out a blender, mini prep or food processor and add in the 3 tablespoons chopped scallions, cilantro, garlic, lime zest, orange zest, lime juice, orange juice, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1 tablespoon kosher salt.  It’s pretty all together isn’t it?

citrus-marinated chicken-2Blend or pulse the ingredients until a coarse puree forms.

Set aside 1/4 cup of the marinade to use for topping the cooked chicken.  Make sure you do this, because the marinade is wonderful on the cooked chicken. 

Put the chicken into a gallon sized ziploc bag.  Add in the remaining marinade, and zip up the bag.  Make sure to shake or turn the bag a bit so that all of the marinade gets on and seeps into all of the chicken.

Put the chicken into the refrigerator to marinate for at least 20 minutes or up to 2 hours. Don’t marinate the chicken for longer than 2 hours as the citrus might cook the chicken a bit and make it gummy.   If you’re pressed for time, you can make the marinade ahead in the morning and then just add it to your chicken when you get home at night. Make sure to let it marinade with the chicken for at least 20 minutes though.  

citrus-marinated chicken-3Pre-heat your broiler and set your oven rack 5 to 6-inches below your broiler.  You want the actual chicken to be 5 to 6 inches below the broiler, so when you’re setting up the rack, make note of the chicken on that will be on there.

Get out a broiling pan or a broiler-proof baking sheet and line the bottom with foil. Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it skin side down on the pan, discard the marinade.

citrus-marinated chicken-4Place the chicken under the broiler and broil until lightly browned on the bottom, about 5 minutes.

citrus-marinated chicken-5

citrus-marinated chicken-6Using tongs, turn the chicken over to the skin side, and continue to broil until cooked through and an instant read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thighs and breast registers 165 degrees, about 12-15 minutes.  Keep an eye on your chicken, you may need to turn it a few more times so that it doesn’t burn.

Note: I’ve made this recipe twice and my chicken breasts and thighs were different sizes both times. Sometimes I had to cook the meat longer and turn it more than once, so that it didn’t burn too much on one side.  Keep an eye on your chicken and know that you may have to turn it more than once and it may take longer than the suggested time above. Also, a chicken breast is going to take longer to cook than the thighs and drumsticks, so you will want to take off the thighs and drumsticks when they’re done and set them aside while you finish off the breasts.  

Top the chicken with some of the reserved marinade.

I hope that you all love this chicken dish as much as we all did.

Hey, if you make it, let me know what you think!  I would love to see if this become one of your favorite chicken dishes as well.

You don't have to cook this chicken under the broiler, feel free to grill it up or sear it in your cast iron pan and then bake it off in the oven.
Serves: serves 4
Ingredients
  • 2 pounds skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs, breasts or legs - We used 3 thighs and 1 breast that was cut in half so it could absorb the marinade better
  • 3 tablespoons scallions, thinly sliced
  • ½ bunch cilantro, leaves and tender stems only
  • 2 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
  • 1 teaspoon finely grated lime zest
  • 1 teaspoon finely grated orange zest
  • ¼ cup (2 to 3 limes) fresh lime juice
  • ¼ cup (1 juicy orange) fresh orange juice
  • ¼ cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon coarse kosher salt
Instructions
  1. Let's prep all of the ingredients. Thinly slice up the scallions. Note: the recipe called for reserving an extra ¼ cup of chopped scallions for topping the chicken at the end, but honestly we never used the reserved scallions, so I'm not adding that to this recipe.
  2. Zest and juice up your limes and orange, wash and chop off the thick ends of the cilantro.
  3. Peel and roughly chop up the garlic.
  4. Get out a blender, mini prep or food processor and add in the 3 tablespoons chopped scallions, cilantro, garlic, lime zest, orange zest, lime juice, orange juice, ¼ cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1 tablespoon kosher salt.
  5. Blend or pulse the ingredients until a coarse puree forms.
  6. Set aside ¼ cup of the marinade to use for topping the cooked chicken. Make sure you do this, because the marinade is wonderful on the cooked chicken.
  7. Put the chicken into a gallon sized ziploc bag. Add in the remaining marinade, and zip up the bag. Make sure to shake or turn the bag a bit so that all of the marinade gets on and seeps into all of the chicken.
  8. Put the chicken into the refrigerator to marinate for at least 20 minutes or up to 2 hours. Don't marinate the chicken for longer than 2 hours as the citrus might cook the chicken a bit and make it gummy. If you're pressed for time, you can make the marinade ahead in the morning and then just add it to your chicken when you get home at night. Make sure to let it marinade with the chicken for at least 20 minutes though.
  9. Pre-heat your broiler and set your oven rack 5 to 6 inches below your broiler. You want the actual chicken to be 5 to 6 inches below the broiler, so when you're setting up the rack, make note of the chicken on that will be on there.
  10. Get out a broiling pan or a broiler-proof baking sheet, and line the bottom with foil. Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it skin side down on the pan, discard the marinade.
  11. Place the chicken under the broiler and broil until lightly browned on the bottom, about 5 minutes.
  12. Using tongs, turn the chicken over to the skin side, and continue to broil until cooked through and an instant read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thighs and breast registers 165 degrees, about 12-15 minutes. Keep an eye on your chicken, you may need to turn it a few more times so that it doesn't burn.
  13. Note: I've made this recipe twice and my chicken breasts and thighs were different sizes both times. Sometimes I had to cook the meat longer and turn it more than once, so that it didn't burn too much on one side. Keep an eye on your chicken and know that you may have to turn it more than once and it may take longer than the suggested time above. Also, a chicken breast is going to take longer to cook than the thighs and drumsticks, so you will want to take off the thighs and drumsticks when they're done and set them aside while you finish off the breasts.
  14. Top the chicken with some of the reserved marinade. The chicken tastes great either way. Eli opted out of the marinade, but John, Zoe and I tried it and loved it. I hope that you all love this chicken dish as much as we all did.

    Also works well for me without the scallions and cilantro. I don’t trust myself with a grill (except for beef), so I cooked sous vide and it was very tender and tasty. My teenager, who tells me he doesn’t like orange chicken, has changed his mind.

    Thank you Jackie!

    Outstanding is right, I did double the sauce and used 1tbl cornstarch/water to thicken it. Also used thigh meat for my guys who prefer it to white meat. Wonderful cooking aroma, you can barely wait to eat!

    I just stumbled on your site last week when I had a desire for chocolate cake with cream cheese frosting, and thought scratch might be worth the effort vs. the boxed variety. I haven’t had a chance to do any baking yet, but was drawn in by your photos and the reviews on many of your recipes. I tried this last night, although things were slightly modified as I had only one lime, and orange juice but no oranges. I subbed a lemon in for the missing lime and the results were still excellent. My 12-year old was reluctant (as he often is) but got his hands on the chicken later, and devoured all of the drumsticks. I look forward to trying this again with the correct proportions of ingredients. I like your site very much. I also got the ingredients to do the pasta bake with pancetta tonight, although my pancetta is the cubed variety that you find at Trader Joe’s. I look forward to trying more of the great recipes on your site. Thank you!

      Hey Cooking Dad! Cute name by the way! I’m so happy that you stumbled on my site and tried and loved the citrus-marinated chicken! It’s helpful to know that it still tasted great with the substitutions you made. I do find that baking from scratch is just as easy, and tastes so much better than using the pre-boxed mixes. You may have to buy a few more ingredients when you bake from scratch, but you will use them again and again! I do hope you give that cake a try as it’s a favorite not only in my house but a favorite in many of my friend’s houses. I hope the pasta bake was a hit! Try the cheesy baked tortellin next! My kids LOVE it and I seriously make it at least 3x a month! Have a great day! xoxo, Jacquelyn

        I’ll let you know about the Pasta Bake, as it was postponed last night. I am making one of my new additions tonight, something I called “Greek Chicken Tacos” by request. My 12-year old said “you haven’t made those in a while” and it’s only been a month or so, so he must like them. If you’re interested, let me know. I thought them up, but then looked online and saw several recipes that are similar enough to what I had in mind. Mine are tasty, but pretty messy.

          Hi there! Greek tacos? That sounds very interesting! I may have to google it and check them out! Love that you’re cooking unique and tasty meals for your 12 year old. My dad loved to cook and therefore his love of cooking inspired me to cook! My kids love to cook now, and it’s a pretty cool thing! Have a wonderful weekend!

    I just stumbled upon your site today and I have to say, the moment I saw this recipe I was all for trying it out!

    I live with my grandmother, who’s recently had knee replacement surgery, and I’ve been doing all of the cooking around the house (among other things, haha). She normally isn’t willing to try new things, but I think with this recipe she just might change her mind 🙂

    Thanks for making my day!

    This looks so good and I would love to try this week using the suggestion of a cast iron skillet followed by baking in the oven, as my broiler’s not great. Are you able to help me out with an oven temp/time suggestion, pretty please? If not, that’s okay.

    Reply
    • jackiegrandy says

      June 22, 2014 at 11:25 pm

      Hi Julie! Sure, try the cast iron skillet to get the skin side all crispy. I would pre-heat your oven to 400 degrees and try cooking the chicken for 20-25 minutes? The cooking time really depends on if you’re using thighs or breasts. Chicken breasts tend to cook longer than the thighs. I would use a meat thermometer and check the chicken after 25 minutes. You want it to be at an internal temp of 165 degrees.

      Let me know how the chicken comes out. xoxo, Jacquelyn

My family approves everything on this blog, and most of my friends as well, so I hope you find some other recipes to enjoy and try. I only post recipes that have been successful in my house and I cook a lot, and if a recipe doesn’t “wow” my family, then it doesn’t go on the blog.

New blog post! I’m going to be introducing a ser New blog post! I’m going to be introducing a series on the blog called, Recipes for Life. I’m not exactly sure what it truly is, or where it’s going to evolve to, but I do know that it’s going to be a place for me to journal my thoughts, share insights and to connect with you all on a new level.  I’ve been hearing the whispers to share in this way for a while, but I’ve been procrastinating and holding back, because I was waiting for the perfect message to put in a post, but I’ve learned that there is no perfect message, or perfect time to start anything new, there will always be an excuse and there will always be a self-created obstacle. Sometimes you just have to just start with a first draff, and get those words out as they are today, and trust that someone needs to hear those words, or message at this specific point in time. So that’s what I’m doing, I’m starting out in draft form and taking the first step.

New post! Easy oven roasted potatoes! Potatoes are New post! Easy oven roasted potatoes! Potatoes are in season, so I’m taking advantage of it. These roasted potatoes are family approved and loved, and make the perfect side dish, as they pair with just about anything. They also take under 30 minutes to roast up to crispy, browned perfection.  No need to pre-soak or boil these bad boys to get them browned and crispy, the cast iron skillet and broiler create the magic. Oh, don’t skip the red onion, as it adds a bacon-like flavor to the potatoes. Get the recipe by going to marinmamacooks.com or to my insta page for the link. #vegansides #vegansidedish #crispypotatoes #ovenroastedpotatoes #roastedpotatoes #fingerlingpotatoes #sidedishrecipes #glutenfreerecipes #glutenfreevegan
New post! Roasted red peppers! If you’re looking New post! Roasted red peppers! If you’re looking for ways to incorporate more veggies into your diet, then these roasted red peppers make it easy, as they are jam packed full of flavor! Roasting them with a bit of avocado oil and some Celtic sea salt adds a sweet smokey depth of flavor that’s hard to describe in words. These roasted peppers will be your new go-to, as they literally take no time to prep and bake up! They’re a great stand alone healthy snack, or make a stellar side dish that pairs with just about anything!  I make these at least 4-5 times a week, (if not more) as I use them in just about EVERYTHING. Click on the slides to see step-by-step photos and the recipe is below! 
INGREDIENTS:
*3 red, yellow or orange bell peppers, sliced into thin strips
*roughly 1/2 tablespoon avocado oil
*few pinches of fine Celtic sea salt

INSTRUCTIONS:
Pre-heat oven to 450 degrees.
Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash pepper, and holding from the top near the stem, slice the pepper straight down each side to form 4-6 big pieces. This keeps the seeds and ribs intact in the center and not all over your counter.

Slice the big pieces of pepper into thin slices.

Toss sliced peppers onto the baking sheet, drizzle them with avocado oil and a few pinches of sea salt, and mix them all together. 

Roast the peppers in the preheated oven for roughly 12-15 minutes, giving them a toss with some tongs around the 10 minute mark, until tender and slightly charred on the skins.
Eat them straight off the baking sheet, or let cool and store in a covered container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Check out the full post to see some things you can pair these bad boys with!
