For a spicier kick, add a pinch of chili flakes or a finely minced jalapeño to the marinade. If using honey, warm it slightly before adding to the marinade to ensure it mixes evenly. Do not reuse the marinade after it has come into contact with raw meat or fish. Always discard used marinade to avoid foodborne illness. This marinade is best suited for grilling, but can also be used for pan-searing or baking.
