Freezer Chicken

This has become my new favorite thing!!!  I am so so grateful for whatever lady decided to post this to Pinterest!!

This is just seven different marinades.  The steps are this:



You put the thaw (never frozen) chicken in a zip lock bag with the marinade, then freeze it.

Allow the chicken to thaw overnight, or by immersing the bag in a bowl of cold water for a couple hours.

Preheat oven to 425, cook chicken for appros 25 minutes, or until no longer pink, turning half way through the cooking time.

Allow to rest 5-10 minutes after cooking.

Easy peasy, healthy, and fast.  Not bad tasting, either!


Each of these recipes serves 2, so we double it for our family.  I generally quadruple it to make two batches at a time.  :)  You could also choose to not freeze the chicken, just marinate it for at least a couple hours.  The flavor isn't as strong, but it still works!
