It's made with fresh herbs, garlic, shallots, lime zest and juice, orange zest and juice, and lemon zest and juice for many citrusy flavors. Use this delicious Mojo marinade to marinade all your protein. From chicken to fish to pork and beef, mojo marinade infuses the meat with so much flavor that it won't last long once you place it on the dinner table. You can also use Mojo marinade as a condiment for cooked meats like our KFC Styled Popcorn Chicken.
