Everyday Is A BBQ Day with Primal Kitchen’s BBQ Marinade
BBQ is all American family’s classic favorite food! Especially at holidays, nothing is better than grilling together and enjoying the great smoky food. About this year’s BBQ marinade, I want to introduce Primal Kitchen’s BBQ marinade sauces. Here I will show some recipes to update your normal BBQ recipes to the next level. How about Chinese BBQ Pork Buns?
Do you love Dim Sum? I do! If you have Asian friends, the first ever meal he/she brings you to try probably would be dim sum. If this is not the first meal with your Asian friends, I believe you hear about Chinese dim sum a lot, right? As dim sum restaurants are not the places to go during these special days, let’s try to make them at home! Not difficult at all, with Primal Kitchen’s organic and no sugar Classic BBQ Sauce.

Whole30 BBQ Chicken with Coffee Dry Rub & Hawaiian BBQ Sauce
This isn’t an average grilled chicken recipe—it starts with a punchy, memorable homemade dry rub that’s Whole30, keto, and Primal/paleo—gets cooked through in the oven, brushed with Whole30 Approved Hawaiian barbecue sauce, and placed on a hot grill to develop a crisp charred exterior. Made with salt, seven spices, and decaffeinated coffee granules, this recipe’s Whole30 dry rub seasoning mix works beautifully on just about anything… from poultry to beef to cauliflower and eggplant, you can use all winter long to season any food you’d like to roast, bake, or grill.
This recipe coats the chicken pieces in the Whole30 dry rub first, then bake the chicken in the oven in order to ensure even cooking. Then basting the chicken with Whole30 barbecue sauce before placing on the grill to char—if you coat the chicken pieces with barbecue sauce before cooking it in the oven, the sauce would burn and turn bitter rather than develop the lightly charred flavor that only a grill can provide.

Air Fryer Paleo Chicken Tenders with BBQ Sauce
Most kids, no matter how old, adore chicken tenders. OK, maybe some (or most?) adults love them, too. These eat-with-your-hands family favorites are breaded with a spiced coating then usually deep fried until they reach golden perfection. Moist on the inside, crunchy on the outside, chicken tenders are fun to dunk in BBQ sauce, ranch dressing, ketchup, honey mustard, sweet and sour sauce, and on and on. Instead of buying frozen pre-made chicken tenders, or ordering them out at a sports bar, here created a Primal/paleo chicken tender recipe that includes no eggs, dairy, gluten, or grains. This paleo chicken tenders have an extra special zip, as using Primal Kitchen Vegan Ranch Dressing in the wet batter to ensure that this seasoned grain-free coating sticks to the chicken pieces. Dip the chicken tenders in Primal Kitchen Classic BBQ Sauce for tangy, smoky BBQ-ranch flavor.
Instead of deep fried in canola or vegetable oil, this recipe coated the breaded chicken tenders with sprayable avocado oil then baked them in the Air Fryer. If you don’t have an Air Fryer, you can bake these chicken tenders in the oven at 425ºF for about 8 minutes per side (turn over halfway through baking) for a total of 16 minutes. Check out the full recipe at here.
No Cook Meal Plan – Paleo BBQ Chicken Wraps
Liberation can be won from standing over a hot stove, creating your own sauces, having anxiety about burning food, overcooking or undercooking meat, or feeling pressure to make everything from scratch because you want to eat more real foods. You don’t have to wave the metaphoric anti-cooking white flag either and order takeout or buy another ready-made meal from the grocery store because you don’t want to deal with the post-work hassle of deciding what to cook for dinner.
Whether it’s too hot to turn on heat-creating kitchen appliances, you don’t know how or don’t want to cook, or you’re bone-tired and frazzled after meeting daytime obligations and can’t face an hour or more of food preparation, this no cook meal plan can be your saving grace. It’s a dinner that require little more effort than chopping produce; putting a store-bought rotisserie chicken to good use; and letting real-food, pre-made dressings, mayos, and sauces do the hard work of adding palate-pleasing flavor and variety to your and even your whole family’s evening meals. Check out the full recipe at here.
Primal Kitchen products are unlike any others that you’ll find in the grocery store. The entire collection aims to satiate exquisitely with real, simple, exceptional ingredients—like avocado oil, collagen, oil of oregano and apple cider vinegar—that contain no dairy, gluten, grain, refined sugar or soy. As the founder, Mark would say, EAT LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT, because it does. Click here to visit Primal Kitchen’s website to know more about their great products.

The Best (and Easiest) Chicken Breast Marinades with Primal Kitchen
Chicken breasts are some of the most popular sources of lean protein. According to Cronometer, one six-ounce skinless chicken breast contains about 295 calories, 53 grams of protein, nearly 8 grams of fat, 0 grams of carbs, and is rich in vitamins A, B3, and D, choline, phosphorous, potassium, and magnesium. Skinless chicken breasts are a “diet food” favorite, likely for their macronutrient makeup. Pictures come to mind of ’80s aerobics queens outfitted with leotards, leg warmers, and sweatbands keeping their feathered bangs off their sweaty foreheads and cutting their poached chicken breast up into tiny bites, or bodybuilders pushing to lean out and eating multiple grilled chicken breasts for the protein. Marinade chicken breasts with great marinade sauces is very important, adding some great extra flavors in to this healthy food. How about trying Primal Kitchen‘s healthy and delicious marinade sauces?
Chicken breast recipes often include instructions for marinating the chicken because, well, skinless chicken breast meat can be bland and boring. You need to cook chicken until the internal temperature of the breast reaches 165ºF, but cooking it any more than that can result in dry, chewy meat.
Marinades add flavor, moisture, and interest to chicken breasts. Chicken breast marinades can contain oil, salt and pepper, vinegar or citrus juice, fresh or dried herbs, seasonings, minced garlic, a sweetener (examples: honey, sugar, maple syrup), and sauces (examples: soy sauce, fish sauce, Worcestershire sauce).
Chicken breasts can marinate for 30 minutes to a couple of hours or even overnight. Store marinated chicken breasts in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
Freeze uncooked marinated chicken breasts in resealable bags in the freezer for up to three months. Make sure to label the outside of the resealable bag with the contents and the date you prepared and froze the marinated chicken breast.
How to Marinate Chicken
Combine the marinade ingredients in a bowl, and stir well. You can also put all of the marinade ingredients in a mason jar, screw the lid on tight, and shake up the mason jar. Place the chicken breast or chicken breasts in a glass container with an airtight lid, or in a resealable bag, and pour the marinade into the container. Place in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes and up to 24 hours.
Remove the marinated chicken breasts from the refrigerator and allow to come to room temperature on the kitchen counter for 10–20 minutes. Preheat the oven, grill, or a skillet on the stove to cook your chicken breasts.

Chicken Breast Cooking Instructions
- In the oven: Preheat the oven to 375ºF. Place the chicken breast in an oven-safe cooking dish and bake for 25–30 minutes.
- On the stove: Heat a teaspoon of avocado or olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place the chicken breast in the skillet and cook for 5–6 minutes on each side.
- On the grill: Lightly oil the grill grates (do so carefully to avoid a flare up). Place the chicken breast on direct heat and cook for 7–8 minutes per side.
Chicken Breast Cooking Tips
- Let the chicken breast warm up to room temperature once you remove it from the refrigerator. Depending on how warm your kitchen is, this can take 10–20 minutes. Taking the chill off your chicken will ensure more even cooking.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and allow any excess marinade to drip off. Discard the marinade; do not boil it or try to reuse it.
- To ensure your chicken breast is cooked thoroughly, use a meat thermometer to measure the internal temperature. Fully cooked chicken breast should read 165ºF.
- Let the chicken breast rest for 3–5 minutes after cooking before slicing it. This will help the chicken stay moist.
