BBQ Chicken marinade?

Question

I'm making a BBQ chicken marinade. It includes soy sauce and sugar. What would recommend I add to make it better and at what portions?

Answer 1

I Marinade mine in Olive Oil, Brown Sugar, Paprika, Teriyaki. Leave the soy sauce out. Then cook the Chicken and baste it with the BBQ Sauce.

Answer 2

Since it sounds more Asian, you might add some powdered ginger, black pepper and chopped green onions... and maybe a little rice vinegar to cut the soy.  You shouldn't need any oil, since the skin of the chicken is fatty enough.......If you have any pineapple or orange juice, you might try some of that in there too (and fresh orange zest)

Answer 3

the first answer sounds really good. Try some  chopped garlic too
