We love using different types of marinade when we grill out. This sweet and smoky Jack Daniels Marinade gives the perfect amount of kick to any meat your cook.

If you are looking for the perfect dinner idea, use this marinade. We have even used it to bake chicken in the oven or you can use it on this Jack Daniels Burger.

My go-to marinade is the Balsamic Steak Marinade, Bourbon Steak Marinade or the 3 Ingredient Steak Marinade. But I am loving the flavor that the Jack Daniel’s Whiskey gives the steak.
