Note

Marinate meat in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results. This marinade yields approximately 3 cups, which is enough for two large chickens or a 5-pound boneless pork loin roast.

Store any unused marinade in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

For a flavorful serving sauce, reserve some of the uncooked marinade before adding to raw meat, or simmer the used marinade to a light sauce consistency over moderate heat. Strain the sauce, pushing on the solids to extract all the liquid.
