At the end of last month I had an end of summer back to school BBQ with some friends. It was the perfect night and we had a great time! I told you in the post I would share our secret (ok it’s not really secret, but that sounds cool to say!) BBQ Chicken Marinade recipe! My husband is so good at putting different flavors together so I had him be in charge of the chicken for the night! He did an amazing job and everyone loved their tender moist chicken!
BBQ Chicken Marinade
I am not very good at remember to marinate my chicken mostly because I don’t have a good BBQ Chicken Marinade recipe. Well now I have one, and I am excited to start creating more. When you marinate chicken it makes it taste so much better! The recipe for our delicious BBQ Chicken Marinade is so simple. It’s just a can of Cherry Dr. Pepper, which works as a tenderizer and also gives it great flavor, 1/2 bottle of BBQ Sauce, we used Sweet Baby Rays original and Garlic! 
It was that easy. We put frozen chicken in a cake pan, poured the marinade on it the night before, put tinfoil over it and let it sit in the fridge over night. We pulled it out the next morning to flip the chicken and then let it soak until dinner! It tasted so good we made it for dinner 3 days later! 
- 1 can Cherry Dr. Pepper
- 1/2 Bottle of BBQ Sauce
- 2 T Fresh Garlic
- 5-7 pieces of Chicken {You can use frozen chicken}
- Mix soda, BBQ Sauce and garlic in a bowl. Place chicken in a cake pan. Pour sauce over chicken and let sit over night. The next morning flip the chicken and let sit until ready to cook!

Yum!! I’ve never tried this combination before 🙂 We’ll have to try it out before summer ends 🙂
It is so yummy and makes the chicken super tender!
I couldn’t find any Cherry Dr Pepper, could I use the regular ind instead?
For sure! The cherry just gives it just a little cherry flavor!
This looks like a great marinade! I’ll me making this soon!
