I have a huge gas grill in my backyard. In the spring and summer I love using my grill. But I am awful at remembering to exchange the empty propane tank. When this happens, my laziness and disappointment kick in and I change my mind and decide to just cook whatever it is on the stove or in the oven instead. Especially if I am not cooking for company. Recently, I was at IKEA and on a whim, bought a grill pan. I have no idea why I never had one before? I’m guessing probably because I have the gas grill in the backyard. Now this grill pan has become my favorite pan to use. I’m always thinking of what else can I try to grill on it? It’s usually chicken though. So I started running out of flavors to use on the chicken. Here’s a marinade I recently tried which my picky eater son actually enjoyed. (It is probably because there’s beer in the marinade. Don’t worry, he is over 21.)
INGREDIENTS:
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 3 tablespoons diced onions (I used red onion, but any type will work)
- 1/2 cup chopped flat leaf parsley
- 1 1/2 cups ale or beer (I used a bottle of 805 brand ale. If you don’t like to cook with alcoholic beverages, substitute with ginger ale.)
- 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts (if you prefer dark meat use 6 skin-on thighs)
DIRECTIONS:
- In a 2 cup measuring cup, mix the first 10 ingredients together. (Olive oil through parsley.)
- Slowly add the beer to the mixture, as it will foam and bubble.
- Place your chicken in a gallon Ziploc bag.
- Pour the marinade over the chicken.
- Remove as much air out of zip bag before sealing. Turn the bag from side to side to make sure all the chicken has been coated with marinade.
- Place the bag flat on a small rimmed kitchen sheet pan and into the refrigerator. Allow to sit at least 2 hours, overnight for best results. Turn the bag every few hours to keep the chicken coated on both sides.
- Cook over medium high heat. Depending on thickness, 6-7 minutes per side.
Looks so Yummm!

I haven’t tried it on anything but chicken, but I think it would definitely work with other meat too. Thanks for stopping by! 🙂

Delicious!!! I’ll have to find the grill pan you’re talking about because I often want something grilled but ours doesn’t really work at the moment lol. Anyway, idk his correct it is, but my dad once told me that when you use beer go marinate meats, they tend to come out juicer and tender. 😀

Your dad is correct! The chicken was very juicy. Just be sure to marinate over night for best results. The rectangle grill pan at IKEA I got has a wood and metal fold over handle so it can be stored inside the pan when not in use and take up less room in your cabinet. Only downside to this grill pan is it cannot be used in the oven to finish off whatever you are grilling.
