1/4 cup honey
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard

HONEY AND SOY SAUCE MARINADE



Honey and Soy Sauce Marinade image

This is a lovely marinade for barbecued or fried chicken. I usually use it for chicken breasts cut into not too thin stripes which I cook on a table barbecue. Most raclette gadgets in Switzerland also include a barbecue facility. In the winter I like to invite people for a raclette and table barbecue evening and the marinated chicken stripes are always part of it. Everybody loves them! I found this marinade in a chicken cooking book and there they recommend it in particular for chicken thighs meat (bones removed). I'm sure it will be nice with whatever part of chicken you fancy. Just remember that the bigger the parts you want to fry/barbecue, the longer the meat should be in the marinade. You may even want to marinate your meat overnigt.

GRILLED OR PAN ROASTED PORK TENDERLOIN IN HONEY LIME CHIPOTLE MARINADE RECIPE - (4.6/5)



Grilled or Pan Roasted Pork Tenderloin in Honey Lime Chipotle Marinade Recipe - (4.6/5) image

Provided by kayjayjohnson

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 lbs pork tenderloin (2 small tenderloins)
1 cup lime juice, about 8 juicy limes
zest from 2 limes
1/2 cup honey
1 tbsp kosher salt
1 tsp garlic powder
2 chipotle chiles in adobo sauce, chopped
1 tbsp adobo sauce (from canned chilies)
peanut oil, or other high temperature oil
cilantro

Steps:

  • Trim tenderloins of fat and silver skin as much as possible. Place in a large ziploc bag or other container to marinate. In a bowl combine lime juice, zest, honey, salt, and garlic powder. Stir to combine, then pour half over tenderloins, reserving half for sauce. To tenderloins add chiles and adobo sauce. Seal and marinade in fridge. About 30 minutes before you are ready to cook, remove pork from fridge and allow to come to room temperature. Preheat oven to 425°F. In a large, heavy oven-proof skillet (like a cast iron skillet), heat enough oil to coat over medium high temperature. Remove tenderloins from marinade and sear in hot skillet on all sides. Place the skillet in the oven and roast tenderloins for about 15 min. Check temperature with an instant read thermometer. Remove pork from the oven at approximately 140-145, cover pork in skillet with foil. Let rest on the counter for 5-10 minutes or until temperature rises to 150. Remove pork to a cutting board, pour reserved lime juice mixture into skillet with meat juices and heat on high. Allow sauce to reduce and thicken slightly, then pour over sliced pork tenderloins. If you don't have enough sauce or it thickens too much you can add a little water and continue simmering it until it is the quantity and thickness you want. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro. If you choose to grill, start at step 5 and grill your tenderloins about 15 minutes. Remove from the grill to a platter at 140°F. Pour reserved lime juice mixture over meat and cover with foil. Allow to rest 10 minutes. Then slice, garnish with cilantro and serve.

1/2 cup orange juice (preferably fresh)
3 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 medium onion, chopped
1 tablespoon grated orange zest
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme (or 1/2 tsp dried thyme)
