Honey tamari marinade

A yummy gluten free honey tamari marinade that is awesome for any type of chicken 

As impossible as it was to find gluten-free soy sauce when we lived in Chile, we didn’t make many Chinese dishes.  However, while watching a recent episode of ‘Kitchen Boss’ on TLC, we found out that tamari sauce was naturally gluten-free.  Again, this didn’t seem to exist in Santiago, but we picked up a bottle when we had holidays in Australia so we could test out this recipe.  Turned out really yummy with chicken, some toasted sesame seeds and chopped scallions on top, coconut rice and veggies.  

I’ve made this marinade so many times since that first time.  The most memorable was when I tried to use our BBQ with some honey tamari marinated chicken … and it caught on fire.  Mind you, this was just after I had a fire in our oven when I tried to coat some fries with coconut oil and use a tray with holes in it, and the coconut oil dropped onto the element and caught alight.  It was not a great cooking adventure, but all of the food turned out ok, so all’s well that ends well I guess!

Anyway, this marinade is great on chicken.  Haven’t really tried it on any other meats, so if you do, please let me know how you go!
