I think you know I live and die by root beer. I drink it, I cook with it, I bathe in it…no, wait. Even if you don’t love root beer (what’s wrong with you) the root beer just adds to the flavor of the chicken and doesn’t overpower it. Plus it gives a nice caramelization when the chicken is baked.
ingredients:
8-10 chicken thighs
1 cup root beer
1 cup ketchup
2 Tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 cup orange juice
2 Tablespoons maple syrup
1 teaspoon minced ginger
2 cloves garlic, minced
salt
pepper
In a bowl combine the root beer, ketchup, lemon juice, orange juice, maple syrup, minced ginger and garlic.
Put the chicken pieces in a large freezer bag and pour in the marinade ingredients. I always put marinating meats in freezer bags in ANOTHER pan, you never know if that thing is going to leak! Let the chicken marinate in the fridge for 4-8 hours, however long you’ve got.
Drain off the marinade and lay the chicken pieces in a baking pan. Don’t reuse tainted marinade people, ew! Salt and pepper the chicken to season and then cook at 375 degrees for 30 minutes covered in foil. Take off the foil and cook for another 25 minutes.
This is a nice sticky chicken with a lot of good flavor. Really easy to make when you’re in a hurry!
Kid's lunches, simple dinners and a whole lot of geeky baking.

I love root beer!! But sadly can’t find it here. This chicken must be very delicious. If I can find root beer here, I think it will all end up in my tummy first…haha
This sounds yummy! I just made pulled pork in the crockpot the other day with root beer – was also delicious!
This sounds ono, since I also love root beer!
I’m about to try making this for the first time.
