How to Make Arizona Marinade For Grilled Chicken Pork Or Beef

  1. In a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine all marinade ingredients. Shake well to thoroughly mix.
  2. Place your chosen meat (chicken, pork, or beef – cut into 6-8 pieces) in a large resealable plastic bag.
  3. Pour enough marinade over the meat to fully coat. Seal the bag, pressing out excess air.
  4. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 6-8 hours, or preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
  5. Preheat your gas or charcoal grill to medium heat.
  6. Remove meat from marinade; discard used marinade. (Save unused marinade for up to 1 week in the refrigerator.)
  7. Grill the meat for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally to create beautiful grill marks and ensure even cooking. Brush with a little extra marinade during grilling for extra flavor if desired.
  8. Check for doneness using a meat thermometer (chicken 165°F, pork 145°F, beef to your desired doneness).
  9. Let the meat rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
