Best Friends Marinade

Use this marinade for beef, chicken, or pork to make kabobs. Works well with London Broil or Flank Steak. This recipe was given to me by Kit Marsac, longtime school friend, and maid-of-honor.

1/2 cup soy sauce

3 tablespoons honey

2 tablespoons vinegar

1 tsp ginger

3/4 cup of Canola Oil (cooking oil)

Mix together all ingredients except oil till well mixed. Then add oil and mix again. Let meat marinate in a covered dish or a large Ziploc bag for at least 4 hours.

I use a Ziploc bag it makes clean up much easier.

Honey Garlic Grilled Chicken

 

Very tasty and keeps the chicken moist. My new fav. 

1/4 cup honey

2 lemons juiced

2 garlic cloves, minced

1/2 cup olive oil

1 tablespoon of salt

1 teaspoon  of black pepper

2 lbs of chicken boneless thighs

Pour into a Ziplock bag, add chicken, seal the bag, and massage to coat the chicken. Marinate for 1 hour in the refrigerator or sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.

Preheat a greased grill or grill pan to med-high heat. Remove chicken from the marinade. Season both sides of the chicken with salt & pepper. Grill chicken until nicely browned on both sides, flipping occasionally.

I have also used chicken drumsticks and added a few other spices to my marinade. I've even substituted the lemon juice for lime juice. My outdoor grill runs a little on the hotter side so we had to lower the temperature and really had to watch it. 

This is a popular marinade, I've seen many different versions.
