How to Make Simple Chicken Or Turkey Marinade

  1. In a small saucepan, melt 1/4 cup of granulated sugar in 1/4 cup of butter over medium heat. Stir constantly until sugar dissolves completely.
  2. Remove from heat and whisk in 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Pour marinade over chicken or turkey pieces in a resealable bag or shallow dish. Marinate for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator, or up to overnight for maximum flavor.
  4. Alternatively, place marinated poultry in your slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours. No need for pre-marinating when using the crockpot method!
