Grill Mates Marinade, Brown Sugar Bourbon, 5.0 oz Pouch

OK, this stuff made my salmon sing. I think it's my new favorite thing for the year 2026.

I love when I can grab something out of my cabinet and use it in one go, without second-guessing measurements or how to use it. I poured this over some chicken thighs and backs and it was a nice, sweet-but-not-too-sweet glaze with a bit of a tang. Marinated the chicken nicely, and helped crisp the skin up when we finished it off in the air fryer. I will be keeping my eye out for this in stores for sure!

All I can say is this is a game changer! It's a single use marinade and it's just the right amount. Of course with McCormick you can expect bold flavors that really bring your food to life! I can't wait to try the other flavor combinations marinades they have. The single use was amazing just rip the bag open and go ! It's perfect for the busy days when you don't have the time to prepare your marinade from scratch or having to worry if you have everything to make it. I used it on steak I let it set a bit longer than it says but it made dinner a hit that night!

I cannot say enough good things about this product because I absolutely loved everything about it. From the moment I started prepping, I could tell it was going to be excellent, but the final result exceeded all my expectations. The taste is profoundly delicious, hitting the perfect balance of savory and sweet without being overwhelming. What really stood out to me, alongside the phenomenal flavor, was how beautiful the color turned out. It gave the food a rich, deeply caramelized, and incredibly appetizing look that made the meal look like it came straight out of a restaurant. It is both a treat for the eyes and the taste buds, and it has officially earned a permanent spot in my kitchen routine!

The McCormick Brown Sugar Bourbon Marinade is absolutely delicious! It has the perfect balance of sweet brown sugar with a rich bourbon flavor that gives chicken an amazing taste. The flavor really soaks into the chicken and creates a delicious caramelized coating when grilled. It's an easy way to take ordinary chicken to the next level without a lot of work. I typically don't use marinades, we are more of a dry seasoning family. This is definitely one I'll be buying again!

I was genuinely impressed with the McCormick® Grill Mates® Brown Sugar Bourbon Single Use Marinade. I'm always looking for quick and easy ways to make dinner without sacrificing flavor, and this marinade delivered on both. All I had to do was place my pork chops in the marinade for about 30 minutes, then throw them on the grill. It couldn't have been simpler, and I loved not having to measure or mix a bunch of different spices and seasonings. The flavor was incredible. The perfect balance of sweet brown sugar and smoky bourbon created a rich, savory taste that made the pork chops stand out. What impressed me the most was how juicy and tender the meat turned out. Pork can dry out so easily on the grill, but this marinade helped lock in the moisture, leaving every bite flavorful and succulent. This product made grilling stress-free and gave my meal a restaurant-quality taste with very little effort. It's a great option for busy weeknights, weekend cookouts, or anytime you want delicious grilled meat without spending a lot of time prepping. I'll definitely be keeping a few of these marinades in my pantry because they're convenient, flavorful, and consistently deliver fantastic results.

Absolutely delicious! This McCormick Grill Mates Brown Sugar Bourbon marinade takes any meat to the next level in just 30 minutes. It has the perfect balance of sweet brown sugar and rich bourbon barbecue flavor. The ready-to-pour pouch is super convenient, hassle-free, and infuses deep flavor while keeping the meat juicy and tender. A true 5-star essential for easy grilling! (I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review).

I used this marinade on steak and cooked it on the grill. It had a really good balance of sweet and savory without being overly sweet. Since it's only a 30-minute marinade, I poked a few holes in the steak to help the flavor get deeper into the meat. It caramelized nicely on the grill and gave the steak a great flavor. I do think you still need to add a little of your own seasoning, but overall it's a great quick marinade and I would definitely use it again.

This marinade has a really good sweet and savory flavor without being too overpowering. The brown sugar and bourbon seasoning gives the meat a nice caramelized taste, and the single-use pouch makes it super easy with basically no cleanup. Great for chicken, pork, or even steak. Definitely something I'd buy again.

I marinated steak for about 6 hours. My family loved the flavors and taste. I did a few people say it was a lot with the brown sugar. They recommended a little less sugar and more salt or savory would be perfect, but it was paired well with grilled potatoes and green beans. Excellent dinner!
