Grill Maestro

Turn a hour long marinade into a fifteen minute marinade by slicing the meat you’ll be marinading. You might say that’s sacrilege, but before you protest remember that if you’re seriously marinading it then you’re probably not talking about ruining top tier steaks. Of course, if you’re grilling you don’t want to slice it so thin that it’ll fall through the grates but you can cut down the marinade time significantly with a few cuts.

So, the next time you find yourself in a crunch hoping the chicken will soak up that Italian dressing based marinade, cut it up a little and cut down the time!
