Ingredients

  • 6 cloves garlic
  • 1 Onion, quatered
  • 3 Tablespoons Fresh rosemary
  • 2 Tablespoons Fresh Thyme
  • ½ Lemon, with skin
  • ½ Orange, with skin
  • ½ Cup avocado oil
  • 2 teaspoons Kosher salt

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients to a food processor and pulse until a paste forms
  • Store in an air tight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 months or in the freezer for up to 6 months.

Notes

 
  • You can safely leave chicken marinating in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, but since this marinade is full of citrus, I would leave it on for an hour at most.  The citrus can start to break down the chicken and make it mushy.
  • If you are only using a portion of the marinade, spoon enough into a bowl and then store the rest for later, being sure not to contaminate the extra marinade.
