Notes

The larger the piece of meat, the longer you should marinate it. If marinating poultry, meat or seafood, simply set a portion aside for basting. DO NOT use the same marinade in which you marinated the meat to baste the meat as it is cooking. Always use a fresh batch or some that you have set aside for that purpose.
