(Didn’t managed to take any picture of the cooked
chicken wing with herb marinade. This chicken thigh uses the same marinade)

The herb marinade is another recipe which is cooked up for my BBQ outing. Actually before I created this marinade, I have already bought a bottle of BBQ sauce from the supermarket, which I intended to marinate it with the chicken wings. However, just before I was about to pay my groceries, an inspiration comes to me. Why not creating my own marinade and tried something different. So I bought a lot different kinds of dried spices and herbs such as, thyme, marjoram leaf, dill leaf tip, allspice, black pepper, cinnamon ground, nutmeg and etc. which will be used for my marinade. (I spent about $40 alone on spices and herbs)

The process of creating a new marinade is actually quite fun as different combination of herbs would give you a different taste. After several trial and errors, the herb marinade is one of the successful marinades created. If you are tired of the traditional BBQ marinade; you can give this recipe a try. You can also have fun creating your own marinade which will impress your friends too.

Ingredients
Serving size: 2

• 2 chicken thigh (about 180g each)
• 1 teaspoon of allspice
• 2 teaspoons of dried marjoram
• 1 teaspoon of dried thyme
• 2 teaspoons of olive oil
• 1/4 teaspoon of salt
• 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper

Preparation

• Place the chicken thighs or wings into a large bowl. Add the olive oil, allspice, thyme, marjoram, salt and pepper into the mixing bowl. Mix and coat well.
• Put the meat into refrigerate at least 1 hour before grilling.

Outdoor Grilling Direction

• Let your fire stable first before you set your chicken wings on the grills.
• Turn the chicken wings frequently (about 2 minutes depending on the temperature) to avoid burn. You can also spread a little bit of margarine on the chicken wings too.
• Grill about 20 - 30 minutes to ensure the chicken wings before serving. Please ensure the chicken wing is fully cooked before consuming.

Oven Grilling Direction

• Set your oven to broiler mode and preheat the oven to 250 C.
• Spread a little bit of margarine on the grills before placing your chicken wings or thighs on it.
• Cook for 10 minutes with the skinless part facing upward. Then turn the chicken wings or thigh around and spread a little bit of margarine on the skin and cooked it about 8 minutes before serving

Tip: If you are using chicken wing part for barbecue, try separating the drumlet and the wing. Drumlet tends to cook longer than the wing.
