- 3 cloves garlic pressed
- 1/2 tsp salt

- 2-3 tbsp brown sugar or coconut sugar
- 1 tsp Accent seasoning or substitute with a salt-free all-purpose seasoning, like Mrs. Dash
Instructions
- Whisk all ingredients together and add your meat
- Cover and soak overnight
- I use this for boneless and bone-in chicken breasts, flank steak and london broil
Notes
*Serving size for 1 tbsp of marinade
- For food safety, you should never reuse marinade. Throw it away when the chicken is finished marinating.
- You can, however, set some aside to baste while grilling.
- Plan ahead, so you have plenty of time to marinate chicken drumsticks or any meat you like overnight. If marinating the day of, soak the chicken in gluten-free marinade at least 5 hours in advance.
- Feel free to add in your favorite fresh herbs! I always have fresh herbs in the garden during the summer months.
