The old Gary Cooper movie, Sgt. York, is a family favorite with our entire team. In one scene Ma asks the blessing and says, "Lord bless these vittles we done got...". Hence, the name of our recipe collection.

Teriyaki Marinade

1 envelope Italian Salad Dressing Mix (1/4 C)
1/4 C cider vinegar
1/4 C oil
1/4 C soy sauce
2 TB honey

To Double:
1/2 C Italian Salad Dressing Mix
1/2 C vinegar
1/2 C oil
1/2 C soy sauce
1/4 C honey

Combine ingredients in a gallon size ziplock bag.  Mix well.  Add 1 1b of chicken, beef, or veggies.  Marinate at least 1 hour.  Do not marinate meat and veggies together.  Discard marinade after use.

Putting chicken in this marinade in the morning and letting it sit in the refrigerator all day is an easy way to get some dinner prep completed ahead of time.  The marinated chicken fries up deliciously.  I usually fry it in some oil and a little bit of the marinade.  Occasionally I have made a batch of the marinade to warm up and serve over the chicken and some rice.  It makes the chicken "black" and Daniel loves "burnt chicken".  :)
Love Always,
