grilling with vinegar?

[tmschuller]

As a kid I remember my uncle using vinegar and ??? to marinate chicken with and trying to duplicate that flavor.. just throwing this out to INGO instead of googling it.. I remember some peoples posts here about trying and using vinegar so here goes my question to you all. Thanks for all your help. Blessings, tim

All marinades have an acid component, be it wine, citrus juice, vinegar, etc. No specific info for you, but if you have a marinade that you like to make, substitute some vinegar of your choice into it. Apple cider vinegar should work well.

I marinate chicken in Italian dressing sometimes? Vinegar, oil, and spices.

I like to use a little apple cider vinegar or red wine vinegar.

My guess is it was butter and vinegar maybe with a clover or two of garlic. Heat to melt butter can be used as a brush on with chicken also.

This, I typially use the olive garden brand, I think it has more of a vinegar bite to it which I love.

that sounds good. Wife just started weight watchers so that will probably work with the point counting thing

That has become my go to quick marinade whenever I am feeling lazy or did not prepare ahead of time. Good tip.

I find it wonderful. Eggplant is an underrated fruit around here, but it grows like wildfire in an Indiana garden.

You can grill it or grill it inside like Chef Nguyen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrKoyJTue0M

In Japanese cooking the chefs take mini eggplants and grill them right up after shaving strips into them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vHe75IIKXY

I like to cut the eggplant into slices like potatoes. I usually cut them on the thick side. Eggplant is great in kebabs as well--peppers, onions, chicken, lamb, and eggplant!

Grilled eggplant is amazing, and in the colder months, eggplant parmigiana, mmm, mmm, good!

That's been my go to marinade for chicken for about 15 years now and I love it. Occasionally I'll find a Red Pepper Italian Dressing which is even better...

I may be misremembering, but aren't there barbecue sauces that are vinegar based? Maybe Carolina barbecue?

My favorite BBQ marinades generally start with balsamic vinegar.
Then I might add red wine vinaigrette dressing or ketchup and hot sauce.

My favorite for pork is balsamic vinegar and red wine vinaigrette dressing mixed. Brush it on while grilling and then a little before pulling it off sprinkle on ground coriander seed and dried parsley.

Eastern North Carolina BBQ is vinegar and pepper based. It is very good.

Not a marinade but for those that enjoy recipes with balsamic vinegar Maggiano's Braised Beef Pappardell recipe. The balsamic cream sauce is very good.

Back in PA we had what we called "Fire Company Chicken"... A lot of the volunteer fire cos sold chicken BBQ as a fund raiser...

Basically it's white vinegar, salt, butter, and some distilled water. Put it over your chicken every few minutes and flip regularly.

I have used McCormicks Grill Mates Marinade packets with good results.

They all all call for vinegar and oil as the base.

Love me some East NC sauce. I'm from SE VA with roots from NC and I have my family send me packets of sauce mix occasionally. It's a seasoning pack that you just mix in with a gallon of apple cider vinegar. It makes a ton of sauce.
