BBQ balsamic-honey marinade mixture in a bowl

BBQ Balsamic-Honey Marinade

The combination of balsamic vinegar and honey uniquely blends the sophistication of Italian cuisine with classic barbecue techniques. The rich, acidic flavor of balsamic vinegar perfectly balances the sweetness of honey, while smoked paprika and spices add a distinctive depth to the meat. This marinade is especially recommended for chicken, pork, or grilled vegetables, as the marinating time makes the meat more tender and flavorful. Dishes prepared in this way pair excellently with Mediterranean-style side dishes, such as grilled vegetables or fresh arugula salad.

    Preparation Steps

    1

    In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, honey, and olive oil. These form the base for the marinade's sweet and tangy character.

    2

    Add the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, mustard powder, thyme, and salt. Mix thoroughly until all the spices are evenly distributed.

    3

    If using immediately, rub the marinade evenly over the meat, ensuring every part is well coated.

    4

    Place the marinated meat in a resealable bag or container and refrigerate for at least 8-12 hours, allowing the flavors to penetrate deeply.

    5

    Before baking or grilling, remove the meat from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes to ensure even cooking.

    6

    During grilling, baste the meat with the remaining marinade for a more intense flavor and a caramelized surface.
