Equipment

  • Grill
  • Large ziplock bag

Ingredients
  

For the Chicken Marinade:

  • 2 pounds chicken breasts, tenders, or thighs
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup oil vegetable or canola oil
  • 12 ounces sprite not diet
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon horseradish plain or horseradish sauce

Instructions
 

  • Make the marinade: Add soy sauce, oil, sprite, garlic powder and horseradish to a large ziplock bag. Add chicken and marinate for 1-3 hours.
  • Heat grill to medium. Spray with cooking spray or rub the grill grates lightly with oil. Lay chicken on the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, flipping only once, until cooked through. (I don't typically use a thermometer, but if you do, the chicken should be 165 degrees F at its thickest part). Move to a plate to rest for a few minutes before serving.
