Lucy, our butcher does some fantastic marinated meats and we freeze them no worries and they come out great when thawed. We've had beef, lamb, chicken and pork and all freeze well with marinade on them. When we do our own, we use honey and soy and somtimes I will buy a satay sauce for homemade chicken kebabs. MIL makes a wicked plum marinade that is delish on the chicken too.
