Notes
- You can make this marinade ahead and store it in the fridge for up to 2-days, but you can also make it, use it on your protein, and let your protein marinade for up to 24-hours.
- One of our favourite ways to cook chicken thighs with the Roasted Lemon, Sumac, Zataar Honey Mustard or Black Garlic Marinades is in a deep casserole dish with veggies, potatoes or beans. Cook at 400F for 15 minutes and then lower the temperatures to 375F to cook for 45 more minutes or until cooked through.
