Many many years ago, when I was still in the banking world, I had the pleasure of sharing my cubicle with a new hire. The bank was going through merger after merger, and we were expanding beyond belief. I trained in the new guy, and since we got along, and were short on desk space, we were assigned to share. It wasn't all bad sharing such close quarters, he liked talking food too!
In all our bank time together, he shared one recipe with me, that I have kept with me to this day. It's simple, but perfect. It is my all time favorite way to grill chicken.
Here is the recipe, as he gave it to me. Enjoy!
Crazy BBQ Chicken
1 Large Bottle 7-Up (I use the 2 liter bottle)
2 red onions - diced
4 large garlic cloves-diced
1 bottle soy sauce ( adjust to your taste on how much you want to use!)
Hot sauce (Optional)
2 chickens cut into pieces
Put all ingredients into an old paint bucket (I use 2 of my largest bowls for this part!).
Marinate for 5 or more hours.
Grill-Basting Once.
***Note*** This recipe is easily cut in half, if you aren't feeding a crowd!

Kris! That is a crazy recipe for sure! But I bet it is fabulous! It sure looks moist and juicy! Thanks for the link for the blue boots! I think I am going to order them! : )
ReplyDeleteThis looks good. I've marinaded chicken for a in a brine before but I love the idea of the soda. Need to try this. Sharing on my Walking on Sunshine FB page today. THank you for linking up with Foodie Friends Friday!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds good. Got to try this. I always use Italian Dressing and Apricot or Peach Jam to marinate chicken, but this sounds real good, too.
ReplyDeleteVery different thanks for sharing at Foodie Friends Friday!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds so easy and tasty...looks awesome too. Thanks for sharing with us at Weekend Potluck. Keep em comin! =D
ReplyDeleteIt is! Thank you so much for featuring this recipe at Weekend Potluck!
DeleteI didn't know you worked in banking previously! So did I! I don't miss it much, I don't know about you :-) Congrats on your feature Kris, I'm going to try this one for sure!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
17 years at US Bank! I sure miss some of the people I worked with, but that's about it ;)
DeleteYou will love this recipe!
I would love for guest/family to see me pull chicken parts out of a paint can to put on the grill! They would think I was crazy!
ReplyDeleteWishes for tasty dishes,
Linda
Lol! It sounds so funny to do it just for the reaction, but I can't bring myself to do it!
DeletePlease be more explicit when stating ie: 1 bottle. they come in different sizes too like the soda. So what size bottle of soy sauce?
ReplyDeleteI have made this with the 10 oz, not even using the full jar. I have made this with a 15 oz jar, using all of it. As stated above, adjust to taste on how much you want to use. I really vary the amount depending on who I am cooking for and their tastes. There is no right or wrong amount to add.
