Answer 3

This is the wonderful thing about marinades, you can use almost ANYTHING. Its all a matter of personal taste. Soy Sauce is always good as a base, you get the salt content you need and you can build flavors on top of it. For something lighter, try fresh lime juice with some FRESH garlic and herbs. Have some fun with it, get creative. Hope this helps.

Hi LP!
Try this: Slices of fresh ginger-chopped, with garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, a pinch of oregano, and soy sauce, sesame oil & oilive oil. Let your breasts and thighs marinate for at least 6 hrs (the chicken too), and then pop onto the grill. You'll love it.

A good marinade for chicken it zesty Italian dressing. I am not sure what Canad's equivalent is but it's a great marinade for chicken and steaks.
