Very good idea. I have some in my freezer, might give it a go.
Do you think I could sub the soda with lemon and lime juice? Would I need to add baking soda?

I'd say use lemon and lime juice and some fizzy water (club soda). I don't know about baking soda. Never thought about that. I'd probably lean more toward just diluting the juices with a little water, maybe, and forgetting the bubbles in that case.

Don't forget the high-fructose corn syrup. :eek:

I would ditch the lemon-lime soda in that recipe, and use fresh lemons and/or limes, letting the honey cover the sweet part. You could always use some olive oil to add volume to the marinade.

My apologies to The Taste of Home Cookbook.
