Bloody Mary Chicken takes chicken to a whole new level! Use Bloody Mary Mix as your chicken marinade to create the most flavorful, moist chicken you’ll ever enjoy!
It’s not every day that I have a bottle of Bloody Mary mix hanging in my refrigerator. But I recently picked up a bottle from the local food pantry and had some fun with it in the kitchen.
When I say “fun”, I don’t mean that I used the mix in the traditional sense that one would combine it with liquor — I used half of the bottle to make a really cool cold process soap (check it out here!)
And kept the rest of the bottle to use as a really unique marinade for chicken I wanted to meal prep for the week.
Meal prepping chicken has been a lifesaver for me – when the business of the week sets in, having chicken that’s deliciously cooked and ready to toss into meals is a God-send!
Bloody Mary Chicken
The bright and bold flavors of a Bloody Mary mix come out in this easy-to-make chicken marinade that will take your chicken to a whole new level!
Marinade is one of the best ways to cook chicken – with just a few simple ingredients you can marinate chicken for an hour up to 24 hours. I love mixing up marinade early early in the morning, and tucking that marinade with chicken in a large, gallon ziplock. I usually let the marinade work that chicken for at least 12 hours in the refrigerator.
Once the marinade has done it’s work, toss the chicken in a baking dish and bake at 350 degrees F in the oven until the chicken is done.
This marinade combines:
- pre-made Bloody Mary mix
- Olive Oil
- Lemon Juice
- Worcestershire sauce (or, sub low sodium Soy Sauce)
- salt and pepper
