citrus marinade
Lemon-juice bath
A citrus marinade is a mixture of citrus juice—lemon, lime, orange, or grapefruit—combined with oil, herbs, and seasonings, used to flavor and tenderize meat, fish, or vegetables before cooking.
The acid in the juice breaks down proteins, allowing flavors to penetrate: Let the chicken sit in the citrus marinade for at least an hour.
