Notes

This Honey-Garlic Kebab Marinade recipe makes about 1 cup of marinade. The exact amount can vary slightly based on the size of the garlic cloves and the liquid content of the honey used. This quantity is generally enough to marinate about 1-1.5 pounds of meat or vegetables. Remember that when it comes to marinades, you want your ingredients to be well-coated but not swimming in the sauce.
