Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary (finely chopped)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, honey, and Dijon mustard until fully combined.
Add minced garlic, paprika, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using) into the mixture. Whisk again to incorporate the spices evenly.
Add the finely chopped fresh rosemary and lemon juice to the bowl. Stir the mixture well to ensure an even flavor profile.
Place chicken or pork pieces in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish.
Pour the marinade over the meat, making sure all pieces are generously coated.
Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap. Refrigerate the meat for at least 2 hours, or up to 24 hours for deeper flavor.
When ready to cook, remove the meat from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
Proceed to grill, roast, or pan-sear the chicken or pork as desired, ensuring it reaches a safe internal temperature (165°F for chicken, 145°F for pork with a 3-minute rest).
