Mom's Marinade

Grilled Chicken with Mom's Marinade

I don't think my mom even measures when she makes her marinade, but I forced her to write down the recipe a few years ago because we all like it so much. This marinade is great for chicken, pork, or beef.

Mom's Marinade
1/2 cup cider vinegar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 Tablespoons brown or Dijon mustard
2 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
salt and pepper to taste

• Combine ingredients in a bowl.
• Set aside 1/4-1/2 cup of the marinade for a dipping sauce if desired.
• Place 4 pounds of meat in a zip bag.
• Pour remaining marinade over meat.
• Let sit, refrigerated, for at least an hour.
• Grill or broil the meat; discard the marinade that was on the meat.
• Serve meat with reserved marinade.

Notes: The chicken tenderloins in the above picture were on a hot grill for about 7 minutes.
