Soda Pop Marinade for Chicken

Submitted by Debs Recipes

"Does anyone remember the grade school science experiment done by dangling a tooth into cola? Back then the cola broke down the tooth. In this marinade the soft drink and soy sauce work together as tenderizers in much the same way. The end result is very tender and flavorful chicken!"

Super good!! I used black cherry soda, marinated it for about 4 hours and grilled it on my indoor grill. It was terrific! The soda and horseradish blended together wonderfully.

Is this an easy chicken recipe, I haven't made this before. I don't like horseradish. Can I make it without horseradish?

This was juicy. I used Sprite, and marinated overnight. For some reason though we thought it lacked flavor, the only pronounced flavor was the soy sauce. My Dh thought it tasted like teriyaki.

This was a very good marinade. Personally, I think I may increase the horseradish for a spicer finish. Thanks for sharing.

This is WONDERFUL!!! It is also very easy. I used sprite and next time will try a different soda. My husband also thought this was one of the most moist baked chicken breasts he's had. He wants to try gilling it next time. Thank you for your recipe, I'll be sharing it with my sister and mom.
