Our Freezer Cook of the Month is Myrna! She posted a recipe on the Cooks’ Corner message boards for Tangy Orange Marinade. I served the recipe to my family and everyone liked it! The chicken was so moist and full of flavor. The sesame oil is a nice twist on your traditional marinade. Try it yourself!

Assembly Directions:
Place chicken or fish into one gallon freezer bags.
In a mixing bowl, combine orange juice, olive oil, sesame oil, salt, lemon juice, garlic powder and pepper. Whisk until thoroughly combined.
Pour marinade over meat. One recipe will yield about 1/3 cup of marinade.
Freezing Directions:
Seal, label, and freeze.
Serving Directions:
Thaw in the refrigerator. Once defrosted, if marinating fish do not leave in marinade for more than one hour after fish has defrosted.
Fish: Preheat grill to medium high (about 400 degrees). Cover grill rack with foil. Spray foil with cooking spray. Remove fish from marinade. Discard marinade. Grill fish 4 to 5 minutes on each side. Fish should flake easily. Remove from heat and serve.
Chicken: Remove meat from marinade and discard marinade. Preheat grill to medium (about 350 degrees). Grill 8-10 minutes per side or until cooked through, turning frequently. Check for doneness using an instant-read thermometer. Internal meat temperature should be at least 165 degrees.
