Master Recipe For Poultry Marinade

Recipe Ingredients

1/2 cup	118ml	Olive oil
4		Garlic, peeled and lightly crushed
1 tablespoon	15ml	Minced fresh rosemary or thyme
1/4 cup	59ml	Lemon juice
		Black pepper, freshly ground

Recipe Instructions

Heat olive oil in a small saucepan. Add garlic and rosemary and let cook over low heat for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let steep for 10 minutes. Strain oil through a sieve. Add lemon juice and pepper and stir to mix.

Makes enough marinade for 1 chicken, butterflied or cut into parts. Marinate 3-4 hours.

This is similar to the beef marinade but uses lemon juice instead of balsamic vinegar. Chicken is more delicate, so I use less garlic and rosemary.
