  • Balsamic Barbecue Chicken

    Giada's barbecue sauce, a north-south combination, uses vinegar and catsup. It's a little bit smokey and a little bit sweet that's perfect with juicy grilled chicken. This is an Italian twist to the American classic.

With it's easy 10 minute set-up I was able to whip up a bunch in just 13 minutes. But, even though they were fast and easy to make, they weren't the best, while they weren't horrible either. I recommend for someone who doesn't have alot of time to fix something and wants an okay meal.
