Marinated Root Beer Grilled Chicken Recipe is a fun summer recipe that will get you excited to pull out your gas grill. It is made with a root beer bbq sauce marinated and created with household staple ingredients without needing Worcestershire sauce.
Make this recipe as is with boneless skinless chicken breast, or you can make this with a whole chicken or anything in between. You can even turn this recipe into a slow cooker meal, however, I would double the marinade to make sure the chicken is completely covered.
