Frequently asked questions

  • For best results, marinate chicken and pork for 2-4 hours, and beef for 4-6 hours. You can marinate overnight for deeper flavor, but avoid marinating for more than 24 hours as the texture may become mushy.

  • Our marinade works great with chicken, pork, beef, and even fish. It's also delicious on vegetables like portobello mushrooms, zucchini, and bell peppers for grilling.

  • Yes! After marinating, you can use it for basting or as a finishing sauce.

  • You actually don't, since it's shelf-stable. In fact, we don't recommend it since the oil will congeal.

  • Use about 1/4 to 1/2 cup of marinade per pound of meat. Make sure the meat is fully coated. You can reuse the bottle multiple times by pouring only what you need.
