Grilled 7-Up Chicken Recipe
Tenderize your poultry with Mom's secret Grilled 7-Up Chicken, using a sweet lemon-lime and soy marinade for grilled perfection.
Serving6 servings
Ingredients
- 6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- ½ cup soy sauce
- ½ teaspoon horseradish
- 12 ounces lemon lime soda, not diet
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
Equipment
- Large Bowl or Medium Bowl, (Optional)
- Hot Grill
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients together in a Ziploc bag or a large mixing bowl. Pour marinade into a plastic resealable bag if you didn't mix it in one. Add 6 raw chicken breasts and marinate for at least 30 minutes (although the longer you go, the better they taste! I usually marinate my chicken for at least 8 hours or overnight).
- Rub your grill with olive oil so the chicken doesn't stick. Place chicken on your grill grates. Grill chicken over medium-high heat until cooked all the way through.
- Let the chicken rest and cut it to your liking.
- Eat the grilled chicken pieces by themselves, with a side dish, or over a salad. You can even put it in the fridge and save it for the next day!
Notes
If you do not have 7-Up, you can use the following sodas: Sprite (or Sprite Zero), Ginger ale, carbonated lemon lime soda, Mt. Dew, or Coke (or Diet Coke). Most carbonated drinks would work to replace 7-Up. However, we do not recommend fruit-flavored drinks. This marinade is really so simple, and adds amazing flavor to the chicken. I like to let mine sit overnight to let all the juices sink in.
