Marinades for barbecued poultry

It is worth adding a little freshly squeezed lemon or lime juice to the marinade. Citrus juices not only add flavor, but in warm weather they work against the reproduction of bacteria.

Marinades for grilling must be thicker , so we only use a few spoons of oil or other liquid in the base. They can be both soft and sharp. For their basic preparation, we primarily use:

• good oil: oil that can withstand higher temperatures, olive or peanut oil is suitable
• Yoghurt: goes especially well with chicken and we supplement it mainly with herbs
• white wine : suitable for all types of poultry
• beer: together with spices, light beer goes well with all types of meat
• citrus juices: suitable for chicken and turkey
• honey: we mainly combine it with citrus juices

We then add the marinades:

• spices
• ketchup
• mustard
• seasoning sauces
• herbs

Put the meat in the marinade for at least a few hours . Before grilling, wipe off the marinade and during grilling, you can rub the rest of the marinade over the meat, so it dries out less.

Since meat juice leaches into the marinade, we cannot use it without heat treatment as the basis of a cold sauce.
