Answer 1

D) Chef B is correct.

It's generally recommended to scrape off excess marinade before cooking meat. This helps ensure that the meat cooks more evenly and prevents burning or excessive charring, especially if the marinade contains sugars. Additionally, while marinades can enhance flavor, too much liquid on the surface can hinder browning and texture.
