Does this sound like a good chicken breast marinade?

Question

1/2 cup olive oil

1/3 cup orange juice

1/4 cup fresh lime juice

1/4 cup ground pasilla chilies*

2 tablespoons ground ancho chilies*

1 tablespoon minced canned chipotle chilies**

6 garlic cloves, crushed

1 onion, chopped

3 2 3/4- to 3-pound chickens, halved, backbone removed

Answer 1

Yes, it is sound a very good marination of your chicken breast.But for me it will be better if you add some soy sauce on it.

Answer 2

Yes, it sounds yummy! But i always like to add a little sweet twist to it. Try half a can of orange soda. It will give a twist of fun to it and the gaz will help the flavors to blend into the meat. Enjoy!

Answer 3

Way too much chili. Choose one...three is overdoing it a bit. Chicken is a mild meat that soaks up alot of the flavor from the marinade.

Answer 4

add some vinegar to create some stronger acidity.  it will help break down the meat faster.  you can even use alcohol like tequila, but you won't get drunk because it will evaporate during cooking.

Answer 5

Yeah, sounds really good. Since it's a marinade, not a sauce, the spice level should be okay.

Answer 6

Have you actually used that?  It sounds VERY hot and spicy!  1/4 c. of ground pasilla chilis, in addition to all the other chilis seems excessive.  Ground adds up to alot more than fresh minced chilis....

Answer 7

sounds SPICY! and yes it sounds good! add the zest of lime and orange to give even more fcitrus lavor - you will need it with all those chilis

Answer 8

That is a lot of chili's. I would either cut the amount down a lot of each one or pick just 2 of the 3. I also like to add cumin to anything with chili's in it. It add a nice flavor enhancer with out any heat. I also like a little sweet to cut the heat. I would add a good drizzle of honey in the marinade or a little sugar. Even a little molasses would be good.

Answer 9

It sounds super spicy but if you enjoy that, it also sounds quite tasty!  I'd add some salt and pepper.

Answer 10

yum,that sounds real good and SPICY.....i like spicy food,but you should only try it if you like spicy food too,but if its to spicy you can reduce some of the chilies next time!!

Answer 11

No I don't like spicy foods.
