Soy Sauce:
If you are watching your sodium intake, you can always substitute with low-sodium soy sauce.
Ginger and Garlic:
Fresh is always best, but you can substitute with powdered if needed. You don’t want to use as much when you switch to dried, so substitute with 1 1/2 teaspoons of powdered garlic, and 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger.
Why is there soda in a juicy chicken marinade recipe?
The sugar and carbonation in the soda tenderizes the meat, so you do not want to skip this ingredient. It is best to use regular sugar soda, but you can use diet soda in a pinch.
Marinating Time:
You can always stick to the minimum marinating time in this recipe when you’re in a time crunch, but the longer you let it marinate, the more the flavors will deepen. For best results, let marinate for the full 24 hours.
Storage and Reheating Instructions:
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat over medium heat on the grill or on the stovetop in a grill pan until warmed through. If you like this recipe, you may be interested in these other delicious chicken recipes:
