    What do you use to coat meats when you cook/grill them?


    Personally, for meat or chicken, I like plenty of brown sugar mixed with some sage, cinnamon, onion powder, black pepper, and a little bit of salt. Other spices and herbs can be added depending on what I have on hand.

    For a little more Caribbean flavor, allspice and nutmeg can be added to the above mentioned mixture , and I also marinate the meat in a pineapple juice/rum mixture

    What do y'all use for spice rubs?

    I don't eat meat, but when I marinate seitan I:
    -ground roasted sesame seeds and whole allspice,
    -add a bit of paprika powder, sumac and roughly a teaspoon of brown sugar,
    and finally add a couple of drops (not quite a dash and definitely not a drizzle) of oil, some soy sauce and a drop or two of liquid smoke.

    Every now and then I add a bit of cumin.

    Cumin is king of spices and paprika is great too, I'll use those always and then throw in whatever else I feel like; normally some sort of chili powder and herbs like oregano or basil.

    For chicken I will often mix the spices with tomato puree.

    I either go by Italian cuisine or Asian. Italian is usually parsley, onions, garlic, sometimes oregano, and maybe a little pink Himalayan salt or honey. Once, I coated the chicken with whole yogurt and coconut aminos, it was pretty good. Asian is usually onion, garlic, and ginger.

    I never knew there was such a thing as onion powder, is that an American thing? Might have to try some, though I do tend to have onion with pretty much any meal so maybe not much point :confused:

    I rarely grill meat but when I do I use Muscuvado which is also a type of an unrefined brown sugar which has strong molasses flavour and marinate it with crushed garlic, vinegar, pepper and salt.

    Then when I grill I use a bit of olive oil,apple cider vinegar and mustard to brush the meat and it gives this very tangy taste.

    I never grill but I do cook chicken a lot!
    My favorite is Sun dried and crushed tomatoes, some garlic powder and onion.
    Or if I'm feeling lazy just some pepper, vinegar and lemon.

    I use this on carrots and sweet potatoes but I'm sure it'll be good on meat.

    4 parts brown sugar
    2 parts kosher salt
    2 parts freshly ground black pepper
    1 part cayenne pepper

    Oh, we are going to be good friends.
     
  13. I don't eat much meat at home, but very occasionally I will marinate chicken with fresh minced garlic, olive oil, soy sauce and a splash of vinegar. That's it! Leave it in the fridge for a while and grill it, you're good to go!

    If I love you, I wouldn't cook for you.
    I hospitalized myself when I tried to cook.

    That is counter-intuitive to hear. If you love them you wont cook for them. I get it, but it sounds weird to me. I always hear it opposite.

    Anyways, I use whatever vinegar my mom has, salt, liquid smoke, and loads of garlic. I let it sit over night. I cant help think i am forgetting an ingredient.
