Spicy Asian Grilled Chicken Marinade. A quick and easy marinade with orange juice, jalapenos, white pepper and fresh ginger! A serious Flavor bomb!

Spicy Asian Grilled Chicken Marinade from www.EverydayMaven.com

If you follow me on Instagram and watch my IG stories, then you may have noticed that we have been doing a big food prep day every weekend. This basically consists of me prepping some proteins and veggies and my husband grilling them.

He packs all of his work lunches, we have dinner from it and more leftover food for quick lunches for me and the kids during the week. It’s awesome and I’ve been working up some really good marinades and grilled veggie ideas to share with you.

This first one is my Spicy Asian Grilled Chicken Marinade. It’s made with jalepenos, fresh ginger, scallions, orange juice, toasted sesame oil and ground white pepper.

It’s ridiculously easy and a total flavor bomb. This is one where you need to think just slightly ahead though because the chicken is best when it sits in this marinade all day or even better – overnight.

As for the spiciness, I’ve been using one large jalapeno (with seeds and ribs) and on a 1 to 5 scale, I would give the finished chicken a solid 2.5. It’s a tad too spicy for the kids but not at all “super spicy”.

If you want to really kick it up, use two jalapenos! Can’t wait to hear what you think of this 🙂

Another favorite weeknight meal that has been making its way into our rotation is this Paleo Orange Chicken!

    Would this marinade be good on pork spareribs?

    Such a great easy recipe to make! I served it with an Asian slaw and rice.. used 3 green chillis (not jalapeños, can’t get those in my local supermarket).. was the perfect spiciness for my kids, we all ate the lot 🙂

    what may I use instead of toasted sesame oil?

      Hi Jenny! Toasted sesame oil adds a LOT of the flavor to this marinade! You can sub peanut oil or another flavorful oil but just know that the taste will be very different than intended.

    Please use measurements and not”juice of 2 oranges” or “4 chicken thighs”.

    Thank you for all of your recipes Ms. Maven 🙂 I have loved everything of yours I’ve made! I made this earlier this week. This marinade is a game changer! I am a sauce and marinade lover and this blew me away. My sister dropped by and once she smelled the grilled chicken she stayed for dinner. We both could hardly stopped eating it. It was even better cold the next day on a salad. Oh my, so easy and such a winner! Thank you,
    Barbara
