Ingredients

24 ounces pork tenderloin two 12 ounce loins
1/2 cup onions chopped
2 cloves garlic slivered
1/2 small hot chili peppers
2 tablespoons soy sauce, sodium reduced
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 teaspoon orange zest grated
1 teaspoon lemon zest grated
2 tablespoons orange juice
1 piece ginger 1 inch
1/2 teaspoon thyme dried
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon allspice ground
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg ground
1/4 teaspoon curry powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Choose pork tenderloins that are at least 3/4 lb each.

If you like your food spicy hot, simply increase the amount of hot pepper.

If fresh hot peppers are unavailable, use 1/2 ts hot pepper sauce, or reduce amount to suit your family.

You can also use 1/2 ts dried ground ginger when fresh is not at hand.

Trim pork tenderloins; place in shallow glass dish.

Set aside.

In food processor, pure onions, garlic, hot pepper, soy sauce, oil, orange and lemon rinds, orange juice, ginger, thyme, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, curry powder, salt and pepper.

Pour onion mixture over pork tenderloins, turning to coat all sides.

Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 8 hours, turning pork occasionally.

Reserving marinade, transfer pork to foil-lined rimmed baking sheet.

Broil, basting once with marinade, for about 20 minutes or until meat is browned but still has hint of pink inside.

Tent with foil; let stand for 10 minutes before serving.

Good As Gold Chicken (Like Kfc's and Boston's)

This was very moist & tasty. I used about 1/2 teaspoon of seasoned salt & thought that it could use a little more.
