Jamaican Chicken Marinade
This tasty marinade is incredibly easy to make, and it tastes great! It works well with many cuts of chicken, so you can marinade whatever you have on hand and then freeze it for those meals when you need something quick. You can freeze before or after cooking, based upon what suits your cooking style best.
