Chicken in a Bag Marinades

I bought a bunch of chicken on sale this week, and instead of just putting it all in the freezer as-is, I looked up some marinade recipes so they will be ready-to-cook meals, frozen in their own juices.

Here are the recipes I tried:

- Oil, Vinegar, Soy Sauce & Garlic
- Fajita Marinade
- Sweet & Salty Marinade
Ginger Chicken Marinade
- Greek Grilled Chicken - very modified (no Greek or poultry seasoning)
- OJ Marinade

I didn't have red wine vinegar (substituted apple cider...it's the closest that I have!) or oregano (substituted basil), both of which seemed to be in most of the recipes, plus I adjusted a few other ingredients that I was running out of.  Soooo...we'll see how these turn out later next month. 

I'll review each marinade with the exact measurements of what I used (I wrote everything on the Ziplock) and will keep you posted in my meal plans!

I LOVE chicken that's been marinated! My best friend just marinates hers in Italian dressing for a while before she grills it, and it's soooooo good! I will have to try some of these out!

I do this all the time! Super easy meals and we never get tired of grilled chicken. Just add some rice and grilled veggies, YUM YUM YUM!

I make bags of chicken frozen in their marinade alot, and it saves so much time (and guesswork) when it comes to dinner!
