Maple Mountain Dew Grilled Chicken Recipe
This Maple Mountain Dew Grilled Chicken is so tender and juicy, you may never try another grilled chicken recipe again. It is both a marinade and a rub, and you can't go wrong.
Serving6
Ingredients
- 4-6 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups mountain dew soda
- ¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
- 1 Tablespoon Dijon Mustard
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 3 Tablespoons lime juice
- ¾ cup maple syrup, divided
- ¼ teaspoon cumin
- ½ teaspoon garlic salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 1 Tablespoon maple seasoning
Instructions
- In a gallon ziploc bag, add your chicken breasts, Mt. Dew, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, olive oil, lime juice, and 1/4 cup maple syrup.
- Zip up the bag, and toss, to allow the marinade to cover the chicken breasts.
- Place in the fridge, and let marinade for at least 3 hours (we recommend letting it marinate overnight).
- Right before grilling, combine the 1/2 cup maple syrup, cumin, garlic salt, pepper, and maple seasoning.
- Heat the grill to medium heat.
- Rub the maple mixture over the chicken breasts, and place them on the grill using tongs. You could also baste them with a basting brush if you hare having a hard time coating the chicken breasts in the glaze.
- Cook the chicken breasts for about 5 minutes on each side, or until the center of the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear, when you cut into it.
- Serve and enjoy.
Notes
- This recipe is amazing with chicken, but I have made it with both pork chops and steak, and they were absolutely delicious.
