This is my all time favorite marinade for chicken and pork. I mostly use this on a pork tenderloin that I roast in the oven. Today, I used it on a whole chicken. It is so delicious. It would also be great on center cut pork chops that you throw on the BBQ pit.
Here is my whole chicken that I marinated overnight.
I decided to roast it over a bed or veggies. One pot meals are my favorite! I hate doing dishes.
