My mom's marinade is the secret to her delicious grilled meats. It's a simple recipe, but it's packed with flavor. I've used it to make chicken, beef, and pork, and it always turns out amazing.

1. In a large bowl, combine all of the ingredients.

2. Whisk until the sugar and honey have dissolved.

3. Place your meat in the bowl and turn to coat.

4. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.

5. When you're ready to grill, remove the meat from the marinade and discard the marinade.

Tips:

• For a spicier marinade, add more cayenne pepper.

• For a more flavorful marinade, let the meat marinate for longer.

• For a healthier marinade, use low-sodium soy sauce and brown sugar.

Variations:

• Add chopped fresh herbs, such as rosemary, thyme, or oregano, to the marinade for a more complex flavor.

• Use different types of meat, such as chicken, beef, or pork, for a different flavor profile.

• Serve the grilled meat with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables, rice, or potatoes.

Enjoy!

Here is a story about how I came to love momma's special marinade:

I grew up eating my mom's grilled meats, and they were always so delicious. I never knew what she did to make them so good, until I asked her one day. She told me about her special marinade, and I was eager to try it.

I made the marinade and used it to grill some chicken. When it was done, I took a bite and was blown away. The chicken was so flavorful and juicy. I knew I had found a new favorite marinade.

I've used momma's special marinade to make all sorts of grilled meats over the years, and it's always a hit. It's the perfect way to add flavor and tenderness to your grilled meats. I highly recommend giving it a try!

Here are some tips and tricks for making momma's special marinade:

• Make sure to use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the marinade will taste.

• Don't overmarinate your meat. Overmarinating can make your meat tough.

• Grill your meat over medium heat. This will help to ensure that your meat cooks evenly and doesn't burn.

• Enjoy!
