      Drain the yoghurt marinade and pat dry the meat. After you face browned the meat in a hot plan, cook the marinade separately in the charred pan to create great fond. You can reintroduce the meat to the gravy

      Yes, the yogurt will curdle, but it is not off-putting. I was asking more about the food science. Figuring out how to work it into your recipe isn't that hard, but the food science might help to focus efforts.

      FYI, she mentions that marinating your meat too long in highly acidic food will make your meat mushy. that is not the case in my testing (when grilling the meat). i have marinated chicken breasts in a ton of lemon juice for 72 hours before and they end up having normal texture.

    Another great video! My only difference of opinion is I don't put oil in the marinade. It doesn't do anything for the marinating and can actually be a barrier between meat and the marinade, inhibiting the absorption of flavors. But it is important for cooking.. So just add it to the marinating bag at the end of the marinating period and mix it in so that it can do its job during the actual cooking process.

    My favorite marinade is Cornell Chicken. The kitchen where I first learned it would marinate for up to 48 hours before grilling over large fire pits. It is a vinegar based marinade and I don’t ever remember the chicken meat breaking down, in spite of the long soak.
    Nowadays, I typically use ATK’s brine recipe. Last time, I brined for four hours and my wife loved the flavor of the cider vinegar that was in the chickens which were halved for brining grilling.

    I'd love to hear you talk about using mayonnaise as a base ingredient for marinades, with your pick of acid and spices. The oil and salt is built-in. if you dilute it a bit with wine or even vodka or another spirit it will be liquid enough to soak the meat nicely. I've found it worth experimenting with. I usually don't pat it dry before grilling, since the mix adheres to the surface and seems to allow good searing.
