The Best Marinades You Can Buy for Anything You’re Grilling This Summer

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.)

There’s the Rub: Take Your Grilled Steaks, Chicken, and Everything Else to the Next Level

The secret to expertly seasoned meat, fish, or veggies is actually stupidly easy: Don’t even think about letting anything touch the grill this summer without giving it a good rub down first. A dry rub usually has these three ingredients: salt, pepper, and brown sugar, which gives meat and fish a healthy dose of flavor and some sweet caramelization (thanks to the sugar) once it hits the heat. But once you’ve got those as your base, you can go crazy from there, adding whatever spices make sense with the natural flavor of what you’re cooking. (For example, cayenne is kinda awesome on fish.) But don’t stress if you’re not a flavor chemist: each of these ready-to-buy rubs is a delicious flavor bomb that’ll add texture, too, without you having to lift a finger. Some of them even skip the sugar (it’s your life, live it how you want), but bring all of that crazy-good taste. Take one to your friend-with-the-grill’s next BBQ—unlike a marinade or sauce, you can add a rub right before you cook the meat—to ensure your invite back for the next grilling sesh.
