Cola Marinade - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 (12 ounce) can cola
1/2 cup orange juice
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika
salt

Cover dish or seal bag and refrigerate for up to 3 hours for chicken and 6 hours for beef while marinating.
This recipe can be doubled or tripled.
