Tasty, Easy-to-Make Sprite Chicken


Cooking can be really fun, but after a long day, it can also be really annoying. You don’t have to resign yourself to eating Spaghettios out of the can after your boss made you stay late and there’s no time to put dinner on the table (that just adds insult to injury) – just grab some sprite coupons and whip up this piece-of-cake recipe for Chicken in Sprite (trust me, it’s fantastic) courtesy of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.

RECIPE
4-5 pieces of chicken (drumsticks are good)
1/2 can of sprite (NOT diet. That won’t be delicious)
1/2 cup cranberry juice
1 small can pineapple slices
6 fresh dates, halved
6 pieces dried peaches or apricots (optional)
1 tablespoon cornstarch
½ cup cashews
DIRECTIONS
Mix everything but the chicken together in a large bowl. Just throw it in there and stir it around for a sec (I promised you this recipe was easy, remember?). Put the mixture in a Ziploc bag, then put the chicken pieces in the bag with the marinade. Let it sit for half an hour while you take a shower or enjoy a glass of wine or whatever. Remove the chicken from the bag, place it in a baking pan and cook at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. The dish goes great with noodles or a green salad. Whoever thought Sprite coupons could be such a tasty dinner solution?
