Our winner this month is April from Beaverton, OR, with her recipe for April’s Chicken Marinade. This recipe uses honey. I have never frozen honey in a marinade before. Most information on honey talks about the quality of the honey after freezing. It tends to make baked goods mushy because it breaks down. This is not an issue with marinade and it worked great for us!

Carol’s Comments:
I am always looking for a great marinade. There’s nothing simpler on cooking day than putting a marinade together, adding the meat and then freezing. It’s a wonderful thing! We tend to eat a lot of chicken in the summer and this recipe tastes great! My kids even asked when we would be having it again. I just love it when that happens! I would also suggest trying it with pork chops.
