Spicy Orange Marinade image

This is a great marinade for chicken or fish, but be warned... its got a kick! I Use Melinda's hot sauce. Best to use fresh squeezed citrus juices, but if you don't have them on hand, store bought will work as well. I like to marinade for at least. If you are looking to pair a wine with this, go for a Riesling. The high sugar content and low alcohol will cleanse the pallet. A chardonnay will magnify the heat of the sauce.
