Marinated ginger chicken

Ginger marinated chicken is a recipe with its roots in Asian culinary tradition, especially in countries like China and Japan, where ginger is used not only for its distinctive flavor but also for its digestive and refreshing properties. In Latin America, this preparation has been adopted and adapted in different regions, being known by similar names such as "ginger chicken" or simply "marinated chicken" in countries like Mexico, Colombia, and Peru. The combination of ingredients in this marinade reflects a fusion of flavors between sour, salty, and spicy, which enhance the natural taste of the chicken and make it a dish highly appreciated for both everyday meals and special occasions.

How to prepare Ginger Marinated Chicken

To begin, cut the chicken into serving pieces if it is not already in that form.

Place the chicken in a shallow baking dish.

In a small bowl, combine the remaining ingredients: lemon juice, vegetable oil, soy sauce, ginger, onion salt, and garlic powder.

Pour the mixture over the chicken, making sure all pieces are well coated.

Cover the dish and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight, turning the chicken occasionally so it marinates evenly.

To cook, grill or broil as desired, frequently brushing with the marinade to maintain flavor and moisture.

Finally, remember to refrigerate any leftovers to preserve their freshness and flavor.
