How to prepare the best grilled chicken using marinated chicken

Chicken breasts are a healthy choice because of how lean they are. However, without as much fat as other meats, chicken breasts can dry out when cooking. To help you get truly juicy and flavourful marinated chicken, Arkenz ltd has created this guide. Say goodbye to dry, rubbery grilled chicken breasts!  

Preparing the Chicken

Your first step is to flatten the chicken for an even grilling space. Place the chicken breasts one at a time inside a plastic bag and start pounding lightly with a meat mallet until even.

Once flattened, we recommend bringing the chicken in salt water for at least half an hour. A brined chicken breast will have better moisture, flavor, and grill marks.

Another way to brine your chicken breasts is by combining it with a marinade. A brine marinade will give you incredibly juicy chicken that packs a delicious, flavourful punch.
