• Defrost meat in microwave.
• Combine garlic, soy sauce, pepper, salt, liquid smoke, lemon juice, honey in a plastic container and marinate the meat in it for 12 to 24 hours.
• The next day, put a oven rack on the lowest level and cover it with foil for easy cleaning.
• Also, put another rack on the highest level.
