How do I use this marinade mix for best results?

• 15–30 minutes for delicate seafood; up to 2 hours for chicken
• Use as a dry rub for quick seasoning before grilling or baking

• Citrus brightness that lifts seafood and poultry
• Garlic and chili for savory depth and mild heat
• Cilantro notes for a fresh, herby finish
