Servings: 4 1x
Ingredients
- 1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts, thighs, or legs*
- 3 tablespoons coconut aminos**
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil or olive oil
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder or 1 small clove garlic, minced
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
Instructions
- Place the chicken in a large bowl, zip-top plastic bag (or a freezer-safe container, if you plan to freeze the chicken).
- In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut aminos, avocado oil, sesame oil, garlic powder, and ginger powder.
- Pour the marinade over the chicken, then cover bowl or close bag. Gently toss or massage to coat the chicken pieces evenly.
- Marinate the covered chicken in the refrigerator for a minimum of 4 hours and a maximum of 2-3 days before cooking. Or, to freeze, remove as much air from the freezer-safe container as possible, and freeze the chicken in the marinade for up to 2 months.
Notes
* If using chicken legs or bone-in chicken thighs, increase to 1 ½ lbs.
**Can substitute ½ tablespoon soy sauce or tamari. Read more about why we recommend coconut aminos in this post.
