This very flavorful marinade can be used for chicken pieces, beef steaks, ribs, pork ribs, or chops. It works best when you can marinate overnight!

Cook’s Note

This recipe makes a lot of marinade! I split it in half after mixing and freeze half in a resealable plastic bag for next time.

Letting the meat marinate overnight will tenderize it and give it a hearty flavor for grilling. However, if using boneless, skinless chicken breasts, don't marinate overnight, as the flavor will get too strong.
