I don't remember where I got this recipe from, I have had it for years & I have used it many times on both fish, chicken & pork, and had great results. It might be something you might want to keep handy or make very quickly if you do not want to purchase the store bought variety. You can keep a premixed batch in a zip lock bag in the freezer to keep it from becoming ransid. This recipe too is in my cookbook. Make it ahead store in freezer, then for a quick meal idea, it is all ready to go when you need it.
