Summer is a wonderful time for many reasons, but it's hard to beat the fun of cookouts with family and friends. In order to qualify as a “backyard barbecue,” certain staple foods must be present: hot dogs, fruit salad, chips and dip, vegetable trays and pasta salad, to name a few. While the traditional foods are great, this summer we challenge you to shake it up a bit. Why not make some grilled "cola-q" chicken?

Fried chicken, chicken salad and chicken wings are all delicious, but "cola-q" chicken is a little-known gem. A sweet and tangy cola sauce makes for some scrumptious chicken, and is a quick and easy solution to more complex recipes.
