Combine all ingredients (soy sauce, water, sugar/Splenda, ground ginger, minced garlic, and vegetable oil) in a covered container.

Shake well to ensure all ingredients are thoroughly mixed.

Pour the marinade over your chosen meat or vegetables in a suitable container (e.g., a gallon-sized zipper bag).

Ensure the meat or vegetables are fully submerged in the marinade.

Marinate in the refrigerator for at least several hours, preferably overnight, to allow flavors to fully penetrate.

For wings, make slits in the skin for better marinade absorption.

For boneless chicken breasts, consider pounding them with a meat mallet to tenderize them before marinating.

Discard any unused marinade after use to prevent foodborne illness.
