I shared this recipe originally 11 years ago when this blog was brand new! I can’t believe it was so long ago! Time flies when you are having fun, and this little blog has been so fun to do (and thank you for your support and love over the years)! This is a fabulous chicken marinade that my whole family LOVES! So, I thought it was time to bring it out of the archives and freshen it up with a new picture. I usually marinade and grill extra chicken so I can freeze it for a quick dinner later. The leftover chicken tastes great sliced in a salad, panini, quesadilla or with pasta.
I do not always have 7-up on hand, but have found other carbonated sodas work well too. Try Sprite, Ginger-ale, Mountain Dew, or even Coke/Dr Pepper work well too. I have never tried root beer, but I bet it would work. The only ones I would steer clear of is Orange, strawberry or grape (no bueno)!
Need some sides to go with this wonderful chicken?
We love….

7 Up Chicken
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can 7up (or Sprite, Mountain Dew, Ginger Ale)

Instructions
- Blend all ingredients together and add chicken. ( I usually do this in a big zip loc bag) Let marinate over night or at least 6 hours, in your fridge.

I am totally going to try this this week. I have some sprite in my fridge that I’ve been trying to get rid of. This sounds awesome and so easy!
I OFTEN COME TO YOUR BLOG FOR YUMMY IDEAS, AND I HAVE FOUND SO MANY GREAT AND EASY RECIPES. I HAVE YOUR LINK ON MY BLOG AS WELL. THIS CHICKEN ONE IS GREAT, WE HAVE SWITCHED IT UP A LITTLE BY USING MT. DEW AND TERIYAKI SOY SAUCE. WE ALSO STAB THE KITCHEN WITH A KNIFE A FEW TIMES AND IT MAKES FOR SOME DELICIOUS AND MOIST CHICKEN. THANKS FOR ALL THE IDEAS.
