Pickle Juice and Honey Marinade

Nicknamed “The Picky Hicky” this marinade uses a blend of sweet and savory flavors. A marinade is a sauce that soaks meats and vegetables to create more flavor and better texture. Learning about marinades is great considering summer is around the corner…and what’s better than grilling out?

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup of pickle juice
  • 1/4 cup of honey
  • 1/4 cup of olive oil
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped

Directions

  1. In a bowl, add the pickle juice, honey, olive oil, chopped cilantro, and finely chopped onion.
  2. Mix well to ensure that the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
  3. Place your desired meat, such as chicken, pork, or beef, in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish.
  4. Pour the marinade over the meat.
  5. If using a plastic bag, seal tight and remove excess air. If using a dish, cover with plastic wrap.
  6. Place the marinated meat in the fridge, letting it marinate for at least an hour.
  7. Next, take out of fridge and let it sit on counter for 15 minutes before cooking
  8. Cook the meat according to preference. This would be a great time to reference a previous recipe on IGNITE cooks: “Three Ways to Cook Chicken.”
  9. After cooking, let sit for a few minutes. This lets the juices distribute evenly.
  10. Garnish with extra cilantro if desired and enjoy!
