welcome back to my series cooking basics
for 20s somethings today we’re learning
how to marinate chicken first I cut the
chicken breast lengthwise as shown on
the screen that’s called butterflying
for the first component in the marinade
you want to choose something high and
fat like coconut milk or olive oil this
softens the meat then choose an acid
like lemon or vinegar the acid breaks
down the meanness of the chicken to make
it softer to eat then the third
component is to use a lot of spices and
sauces to bring flavor to the chicken
once it’s all mixed together let it sit
for 4 to 5 hours in the fridge to absorb
all the flavor the goal of this video is
to teach you guys how to make your own
marinades but if you want to make this
exact one it’s under the chicken taco
recipe on my website
