I've tried other marinades for chicken, but this one is the best. It makes the meat so tender, and the flavor is great. -Nonie Covey Omaha, Texas

The soy sauce taste was just too strong for us.

This marinade made the chicken moist and tender. Who would have thought to use lemon-lime soda in a marinade? Delicious!
