When it comes to cooking, I'm not "chicken" about experimenting—I discovered this mouth-watering marinade in a poultry cookbook and decided to try it with pork chops. My family's glad—it's become a favorite! Don't be bashful about basting a pork roast or ribs with the marinade, either...I did, and I discovered two more family-favorite taste treats.

SERVINGS: 4

CATEGORY: Lower Fat

METHOD: Grill (gas or charcoal)

TIME: Prep: 10 min. + marinating Grill: 15 min.

  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
