Tips to Marinate and Cook Chicken

How to Marinate and Cook Chicken with Canadian Wise Foods Marinades

Chicken is a versatile protein, and when paired with the right marinade, it can transform into a mouthwatering dish that’s full of flavor. At Canadian Wise Foods, we offer a range of unique marinades that can enhance the taste of your chicken like never before. Here’s a simple guide to marinating and cooking chicken using some of our favorite marinades.

Step 1: Choose Your Marinade

We offer a variety of marinades to suit different tastes, such as:

1. Tandoori Marinade – Perfect for a smoky, spicy flavor with a hint of yogurt.
2. Kashmiri Marinade – A rich and creamy blend for a milder, more savory option.
3. Souvlaki Marinade – Bring Mediterranean flavors to your chicken with this tangy and herby marinade.
4. Santa Cruz Marinade – Infused with aromatic spices for a deeper, earthy taste.

Step 2: Marinate the Chicken

Marinate your chicken for at least 30 minutes, but for best results, leave it in the refrigerator for 2-4 hours or overnight. This allows the flavors to deeply penetrate the meat.

• For boneless chicken: Marinate for 30-60 minutes.
• For bone-in chicken: Marinate for 2-4 hours to ensure the flavors infuse throughout.

Step 3: Cook the Chicken

Once your chicken has marinated, there are several ways to cook it. Here are a few methods:

1. Grilling: Preheat your grill and cook the chicken for about 6-8 minutes per side (for boneless) or 10-12 minutes (for bone-in) until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
2. Baking: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the marinated chicken on a baking sheet and cook for 20-25 minutes for boneless chicken, or 35-40 minutes for bone-in chicken, until fully cooked.
3. Pan-Frying: Heat a bit of oil in a pan over medium heat. Cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side (for boneless) or 10-12 minutes per side (for bone-in) until golden and fully cooked.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy!

Once your chicken is cooked, serve it with your favorite sides, like rice, salad, or grilled vegetables. The flavors of Canadian Wise Foods’ marinades will elevate your meal to a whole new level!

Tip: You can even use our marinades for grilling vegetables or seafood for a delicious variety!
