MARINADE FOR CHICKEN, PORK OR BEEF
This recipe comes from my Uncle Tommy. He used this recipe to marinate chicken kabobs and served them over yellow rice. One tip he gave me was to put a little of the marinade in a dish with the onion halves and microwave for a minute or two. It softend them up before putting on the skewers with the rest of the meat and veggies.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of meat. For chicken, use boneless, skinless breasts or thighs. For pork, use pork chops or tenderloin. For steak, use flank steak, skirt steak, or sirloin steak.
- Use a good quality whiskey. The better the whiskey, the better the marinade will be. Look for a whiskey that is at least 80 proof.
- Don't over-marinate the meat. Over-marinating can make the meat tough. For chicken and pork, marinate for no more than 24 hours. For steak, marinate for no more than 12 hours.
- Use a resealable bag or container to marinate the meat. This will help to keep the marinade from leaking out.
- Turn the meat over occasionally while it is marinating. This will help to ensure that the marinade evenly coats the meat.
- Discard the marinade after use. Do not reuse it, as it may contain harmful bacteria.
Conclusion:
Whiskey marinade is a great way to add flavor and tenderness to chicken, pork, or steak. It is easy to make and can be used with a variety of different whiskeys. Experiment with different whiskeys and ingredients to find a marinade that you love. And remember, the key to a great marinade is to not over-marinate the meat.
