There’s one simple secret every chef knows. If you take this single step, you will succeed in serving up a dish that makes hungry mouths go back for more. The best part is it requires zero kitchen skills. Ready? Season your food. That’s it. Of course, you can accomplish this very easily with spices. But if it’s the main dish – the meat to the potatoes – you’ll want to use a marinade…
Kicking off a three-part series on must-have marinades is this sweet-and-tangy sundried tomato sauce for chicken. Bye-bye, basic meals. You’ve been saved by the flavors that pair well with a glass of vino and a warm sunset.
