Ingredients
300 cc bottle dark beer
¼ cup rice bran oil
6 large cloves of garlic, smashed
¼ cup lemon juice
3 tbsp fresh basil
1 tbsp fresh oregano
1 tbsp fresh thyme
3 tsp SIDS SALT & PEPPER
2 kg boneless chicken breasts, trimmed
Directions
Place chicken in a 4 litre resealable plastic bag. Set aside.
Combine oil, garlic, lemon juice, basil, oregano, thyme, SIDS SALT & PEPPER in a food processor. Blend until your mixture is smooth. Combine ¼ cup marinade mix and ½ cup beer in an airtight container, reserve this mixture. Place in the refrigerator.
Pour remaining mixture over chicken. Pour 1 cup beer in over chicken. Turn the bag a few times to make sure chicken is well coated with marinade. Marinate in refrigerator for 3-24 hours.
Preheat grill to medium-high.
Remove chicken and reserved marinade from refrigerator to come to room temperature, about 30-60 minutes.(you never want to grill cold meat, the temperature change will toughen the meat)
Grill chicken until the top side starts to turn opaque (instead of pink), this will take about 6-8 minutes. Turn the chicken and apply the reserved marinade to the cooked side of the chicken. Grill the other side until the chicken is seared nicely, and when you press down on the chicken, it is firm but not hard.
