Easy Chicken Marinade

• 8 cups Ginger Ale (just Shy Of 2 Liters)
• 1 bottle (24 Oz) Zesty Italian Salad Dressing (a Cheap Store Brand Is Fine)

1. This recipe is enough for two whole chickens and then some, so adjust as necessary.
2. Pour the ginger ale into a large mixing bowl.
3. Add the salad dressing and whisk to combine.
4. Put your chicken(s) in a gallon zip-top bag(s) and add enough marinade to each bag to completely cover the chicken.
5. Seal the bag(s), removing the excess air.
6. Put the bag(s) in a large lipped pan in the refrigerator and marinate 3-6 hours.
7. Remove the chicken from the marinade and drain.
8. Grill or smoke the chicken as you normally would.
9. Tip: Reserve some of the unused marinade and use it as a baste. Brush it on the meat periodically while cooking. You can use the marinade from the chicken, but you must boil it for five minutes to make it safe to use.
