I'm firing up the BBQ on my balcony about 4-nights per week atm, but I'm running out of chicken/pork/beef marinade ideas.

I've picked up a few bottles from Homeplus; one, a hottish red pepper; the other, a milder sweet pepper, but I'm getting a little tired of them and need some culinary inspiration.

Here's a couple of others that you can try:

1. Grated onion with lemon or lime juice (Homeplus)
2. Dijon mustard (Homeplus) with some honey mixed in

Here's another one that sounds nasty on the surface, but is pretty damn good on the surface of BBQ'D flesh - Catchup and Coca-Cola with a pinch of black pepper and any other spices you feel are justified.

Here's how the Filipino wives did pinchitos (meat sticks): Grated ginger and garlic in teriyaki or soy sauce and 7Up. Or you could try pineapple juice instead of 7Up. A dash of your pepper sauces would be nice too.

If you're using wooden skewers, pre-soak them to help to keep them from burning.

Thai sweet chilli sauce is great on chicken you can get it in the basement of Hayudai department store. It's great when you leave the skin on the chicken and slightly burn the skin.

Gochujang is great on Samgyup sal( Korean bacon)

Wishbone Italian dressing makes a fantastic marinade for chicken, fish, or steaks.

Honey Mustard BBQ Sauce Or Regular BBQ Sauce is really good.

1st Honey Mustard
1 Vinegar
2 Mustard
3 Honey
4 Salt
5 Soy Sauce

Mix together to your taste

Then regular

Ketchup/Catchup

1 Ketchup
2 Vinegar
3 Salt
4 Soy Sauce

Mix together to your taste

Or you can go to home plus and buy Bulls Eye BBQ Sauce
If you in Seoul or near a Philippine store you can get various mixes as well.

wow wow wow...

one thing at a time. Im not in Korea yet but are you allowed to have real BBQs on your balcony? I assume charcoal is a no go cause of smoke, but like propane ones that we use over here in North America?!?!????!!!!

I would be so freakin thrilled if this is allowed.

Anyways, I use this marinade for steaks:

red wine vinegar (3 parts)
olive oil (1.5 parts)
soy sauce (couple teaspoons)
worchestershire sauce (sp?) (couple teaspoons)
salt/pepper
chopped onion (large)
diced garlic

these are approximations of the amount. Adding more or less of something isnt really going to ruin it. Really good for steaks if you marinade for 24 hours. The onions cooked on the grill are really freakin good. But make sure to cook it on some tin foil or something, and in the marinade so it doesnt burn

BBQ in the laundry area- bad idea, though a charcoal grill shouldn't be a problem, if you've got access to the rooftop area of your building or something.

I noticed that my local Lotte supermarket is selling small bags of Kingsford briquettes. These are not the quick-light variety so they require lighter fluid which, when I enquired, was told they don't sell. I can just imagine Koreans trying the American briquettes and wondering why they suck so badly. Good job Lotte!

Oh, for some good marinade, pick up some liquid smoke to enhance the flavor.

Here's an unconventional way:

My own personal invention is basically making a good thick spaghetti sauce and brushing the sauce on the chicken or meat.

Sauce:
Tomato sauce
Basil
Garlic
Oregano
Pinch of Pepper
Chili powder
Squeeze of fresh cut lemon

I've also done this with an Alfredo sauce and a garlic olive oil pesto glaze.
