How to make this honey and mustard marinade
Recipe Tips
- 2 pounds of protein – This recipe yields about 3/4 cup of sauce and is perfect for about 2 lbs of any protein (chicken, pork, etc). You can scale it up or down as desired.
- Freezer friendly – You can freeze your marinated protein (any protein except seafood) for up to 3 months – just defrost it in the fridge overnight and cook as desired.
- Bake it – We like to marinate our chicken in a casserole dish and just throw it in the oven to bake. It’s so easy and juicy!
- Glaze – If you want all of the flavor without the marinating time, use this marinade as a glaze when cooking. Just brush it on your protein on both sides several times while cooking.
- Baste – You can also baste your protein with the leftover marinade while cooking on the grill. Just bring the leftover marinade to a boil in a small saucepan to kill any bacteria and baste away.
