When I first was young I had no idea how to cook meat. I quickly realized that meat required some kind of seasoning. I discovered Lawry’s<\/a> marinades and used them for years. They were good but not great. Over time I realized that a great marinade can make your grilled or broiled meat taste amazing. These three marinades are perfect for chicken, steak, or pork and you probably already have the ingredients in your kitchen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"marinade<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Personally I like to prepare the marinade, add the meat, then put it all in a gallon size Ziploc bag<\/a> and freeze. You can buy a large pack of chicken at Costco or Sam’s Club and prepare it in advance <\/a>and have dinner on the table in under an hour on busy nights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to make the meat the same day, make sure you allow for time to marinade. I like to give it at least 4 hours, but you can shorten it to 2 hours if you don’t have as much time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember if you don’t have fresh herbs you can always use dried ones in a pinch. <\/p>\n\n\n
