There isn’t any better way to get juicy grilled chicken than
in an indoor contact grill like a George Foreman. It’s so fast to cook, with no big mess. You do need to have your side dishes ready to
go, because you won’t have time after you start grilling. Just about any marinade or even seasoning
salts work well; whatever you like. Your
outdoor grill recipe will take half as much time on an indoor contact grill
because you’re grilling both sides at once.
Chicken really calls for using your instant read thermometer
to be sure it is done enough for food safety, but not overcooked. Check in the thickest part of the meat; it
needs to be 165°.
Easy
Foreman Grill BBQ Chicken Thighs
2
5 or 6 oz chicken thighs, skinned
and boned
2 tablespoons molasses
2 1/2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
3/4 teaspoon light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon Liquid Smoke (I don't bother)
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
Mix all
ingredients except thighs in a baking dish. Be sure to mix well for couple of
minutes so all ingredients blend together and sugar dissolves. Open thighs flat and pound to equal
thickness, about 1/2-3/4" thick.
Add thighs
to the sauce.
Let sit for
an hour covered in the fridge for even more flavor.
Preheat your
Foreman Grill for at least 5 minutes. Use high setting if your grill has it.
Grill thighs for at least 3-4 minutes and check for doneness (165° on instant
read thermometer).
Chicken Tenders in Champagne Vinegar
Marinade
1/2
pound chicken tenders -- (or use
regular chicken breast cut to size)
1
tablespoon lime juice
1
tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1
tablespoon Champagne wine vinegar (or white wine or cider vinegar)
1/2 teaspoon honey
1/3 teaspoon dijon mustard
dash dried oregano
1/3 teaspoon garlic -- minced
Mix in measuring cup, add to ziploc bag with chicken tenders. Marinate for as
long as you can. If you can let them marinate overnight they will be best. But
even for a few minutes and you'll still get tasty tenders.
Preheat your
grill for at least 5 minutes with the lid closed.
Add
marinated tenderloins and close lid. Grilling time will be approximately 3-5
minutes depending on thickness. Be sure to check for doneness and internal
temperature of 165F.
I don't have one, but have thought about getting one a few times.
ReplyDeleteI don't have one either, but think I am going to buy one, Sue is having way to much fun with hers. I have had an indoor grill but it was open and was just a pain to clean up after. This looks like it would be so much better. Sometimes those younger sisters do know what they are talking about.
