Rosemary-Lemon Marinade
The bright citrus and herb flavors of this Rosemary-Lemon Marinade that works perfectly on chicken and pork. Also, try a quick marinating time on fish. Tailor the amount of rosemary for this recipe to suit your tastes. I do recommend keeping it on the lighter end, as rosemary has a powerful flavor. But you choose.

- Juice of 3 lemons
- 1/4 cup olive oil

- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

- Marinate pork chops for 2-4 hours and larger cuts for 8-12 hours.
- Marinate chicken pieces for 2 hours, and whole chickens for 4-6 hours.
