How to Make Maple Soy Marinade

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic.
  2. Add the chicken or pork to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.
  3. Preheat your grill, broiler, or oven to medium-high heat.
  4. Remove the meat from the marinade and discard the marinade.
  5. Cook the chicken or pork to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for chicken and 145°F (63°C) for pork. Grilling time will vary depending on the thickness of the meat; approximately 5-7 minutes per side for chicken and 8-10 minutes per side for pork.
  6. Let the meat rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
