Yes, we have come to that point in the year that is unofficially known as grilling season. But before you get the smoky party started and unthaw that side of beef you went in on with your friends, you need to round up the best marinades you can buy. Whether you’re trying to ratchet up the vinegar kick on skinless chicken breasts or add a dash of acid (hello lime juice!) to those pork chops, trust us, there’s nothing that adds a better flavor to meat than a delicious marinade. Sure, following a recipe and whipping up your own simple marinade is one way you could go (mincing all. that. garlic.), but each of these ready-made versions is a simpler way to soften the meat and add serious flavor—without having to shop for a ton of ingredients. Check the bottle to see how long to let your meat sit (the longer meat sits in a marinade, the more flavor it will absorb; the same holds true for tofu), and then when it’s actually grilled you can tell everyone you made the marinade yourself. (We won’t say anything.)
