I made this as a freezer meal so check out my video below to see all the ways I prepped a massive chicken haul. This marinade is terrific on both chicken and meatballs! Any cranberry sauce would work for this; try it with a jar of cranberry chutney which made it extra special because of all the apples and spices. It would be a great way to use up leftover cranberry sauce after Thanksgiving too!
Yields 1 Serving Servings Quarter (0.25 Servings) Half (0.5 Servings) Default (1 Serving) Double (2 Servings) Triple (3 Servings)
2 ½ lbs boneless skinless chicken breast or thighs
1 cup cranberry sauce or cranberry chutney
½ cup ketchup
¼ cup brown sugar
½ cup white wine vinegar (I used Champaign vinegar)
½ cup grated onion
2 tbsp garlic powder
½ tsp Worchester sauce
½ cup olive oil
1 tsp salt
½ tsp pepper
1 Cube, slice OR butterfly chicken pieces and add to a Ziploc bag or bowl.
2 Pour remaining ingredients over chicken and mix to coat all pieces. Marinate for minimum of 3 hours (or freeze for a future date).
3 Preheat oven to 400 ℉. Place chicken mixture in 9x13 baking dish and bake for 25-35 minutes.
4 *Can also be cooked on the grill, sautéed on the stovetop, cooked in an Instant Pot or slow cooked in a Crock Pot.
