This seems to tenderize and adds flavor too.
I used to marinate like crazy then cook them in a sauce involving dry mustard. Then they would taste like chicken would under the same circumstances. sometimes the question would be asked to the effect 'why not just start out with chicken?" and I would have to explain that shooting their chickens would upset the farmers and that the farmers themselves had guns. Then teenage eyes would roll, etc.
