Drunken Chicken Marinade

Hi, it's been a very long time since the last time I posted to r.f.r, but I couldn't resist sending this when I saw the drunken chicken thread, This is a relatively new favorite of mine I created - I like it best for hickory or mesquite grilled chicken - but I think it works well for beef too...

• 1 -2  ounce coarse black pepper (or to taste)

• 3  ounces soy sauce or 3  ounces  maggi seasoning sauce (the Maggi sauce is saltier than soy)

Directions

1. Optional add-ins: garlic - I use powdered for the intensity- but crushed cloves of garlic will also be good...

3. ---- Combine all ingredients and pour over meat to be marinated.
4. The estimated amount above marinates about 2 1/2 to 3 lbs of chicken.
