5 Quick, Tasty Marinades
Instead of buying premade sauces and marinades, try these tasty, quick marinades at your next cookout! If you’re tired of eating the same old chicken recipe, these marinades are a great way to add flavor to your meals with some pantry staples.
These marinades work with all kinds of protein and taste awesome baked or pan-fried too. You can make them ahead for meal prepping or to marinate and freeze until you are ready to cook. I like to marinate my protein the night before I cook to get as much flavor as possible in the protein.
Pro tip: For easy cleanup, I like to make my marinade in a ziploc bag and then add my chicken or pork in!
