Do you let the meat drain before bbqing?
Kim Nielsen
Hi Jamie. Thanks for your question. No, I simply just take the meat directly to the barbecue. This way you get the best taste in my opinion. Regards Kim

Thanks, It seems real easy to use. I have a couple of questions. How much marinade would I need for 2.7 kilograms of chicken.? Also could you suggest an alternative to using ketchup?

The word 'dl' means deciliter and is a metric way of measuring volumen. You can also click the 'US customary' button which converts the metric system to the imperial system.

Looks great, can you use this as marinade, and leave the meat in for a few hours?
Thanks
Kim Nielsen
Yes you can totally do that. It's a good idea to leave the meat in the marinade for several hours to add extra flavor to it. Regards Kim (NordicFoodLiving.com)
