Meat Marinades for Kebobs

More meat marinades

OK, so you have my chicken marinade.
This can be used with any kind of meat.
I like lamb the best. But use your own family's preference.
Lets use that for more and more tasty dinner time sensations!

We'll go basic here and then I'll post the different variations that can be used to 'spice up' the marinade.

When BBQ-ing it comes out the tastiest if done over a real charcoal grill. Those savvy enough to know how to cook with BBQ wood, (not mesquite!) that is even better.
