Manti Chicken

I have never tried this marinade before but I'll admit I was pleasantly surprised at how good it tasted. The flavor was really good. The kids ate all of their chicken and came back several times asking for more. The chicken was tender with loads of flavor. I used bone-in chicken breasts along with some leg quarters and drumsticks. I left the skin on which I would probably remove next time. The oil from the marinade caused a few flare ups which left the skin torched. I removed the skin before serving but I think we lost more flavor by doing this. I've heard that you can use this marinade for steaks and turkey too. I found the recipe in the WorldWide Ward Cookbook. This dish is served at the Manti Mormon Pageant.

1 cup soy sauce
1 cup oil
1 tsp. horseradish
1 tsp. garlic salt
24oz lemon-lime soda (7up or Sprite)
boneless, skinless chicken (like I said I used bone-in with skin because it was all I had)

Mix marinade ingredients together; add chicken pieces and marinate for at least 7 hours. Cook chicken over grill.

Savory Garlic marinated steaks

This marinade was pretty tasty. I have to admit I was a little concerned about some of the ingredient but it was good. I could also see using this marinade for chicken and pork. The steaks were quite tender. Much better marinade than any I've bought in the store. I did not use the rib eye steaks called for in the recipe. Instead I used sirloin steaks and it worked well.

1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup soy sauce
3 tablespoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke flavoring
1 pinch cayenne pepper
2 (1/2 pound) rib-eye steaks

In a medium bowl, mix the vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, honey, olive oil, ground black pepper, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, salt, liquid smoke, and cayenne pepper.
Place steaks in a shallow glass dish with the marinade, and turn to coat. For optimum flavor, rub the liquid into the meat. Cover, and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 days.
Preheat grill for medium-high to high heat.
Lightly oil the grill grate. Grill steaks 7 minutes per side, or to desired doneness. Discard leftover marinade.
