To get the steak tips nice and tender, marinate them in sauce the night before you grill and add a little soda to the marinade (like cola or root beer). This helps the meat become more tender.

Use rubs instead of sauces, instant flavor and no black crust.

This amazing chicken marinade will add incredible flavor. Use on 4-8 boneless, skinless chicken breasts. After marinading the chicken, wrap each piece with one slice of thick cut smoked bacon. The chicken breast will be done when the bacon is crisp and golden. Slice it up on a bed of mixed greens for cool summer salad, or serve it as the main entree for your Memorial Day feast!

2 cups Kahlua
1 Tbs. onion powder
1 Tbs. garlic powder

-Season chicken pieces, cover with the Kahlua and place in an airtight container. Keep in fridge for 30-45 minutes. Remove from marinade, wrap in bacon, and grill. Use marinade drippings to baste.
