You can use any type of oil (peanut for Asian dishes is a neat touch), and any kind of breakdown compound (vinegar, lemon, lime, wine, etc). The purpose is to take a tough meat and make it tender. If it&#8217;s chuck roast you want to soften up, you should probably slice against the grain into small pieces and marinade for several hours. If it&#8217;s chicken, 20 minutes to 2 hours normally does the trick.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Use it as a base for your own marinade or use it as is and call it &#8220;margarita chicken&#8221;.
