Ingredients

• 0.25 cup olive oil
• 0.25 cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 2 teaspoons minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
• 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary (finely chopped)
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, honey, and Dijon mustard until fully combined.

Step 2

Add minced garlic, paprika, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using) into the mixture. Whisk again to incorporate the spices evenly.

Step 3

Add the finely chopped fresh rosemary and lemon juice to the bowl. Stir the mixture well to ensure an even flavor profile.

Step 4

Place chicken or pork pieces in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish.

Step 5

Pour the marinade over the meat, making sure all pieces are generously coated.

Step 6

Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap. Refrigerate the meat for at least 2 hours, or up to 24 hours for deeper flavor.

Step 7

When ready to cook, remove the meat from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.

Step 8

Proceed to grill, roast, or pan-sear the chicken or pork as desired, ensuring it reaches a safe internal temperature (165°F for chicken, 145°F for pork with a 3-minute rest).
