It's fun for me to have my family together so I can prepare their favorite foods, like this saucy barbecued chicken. The moist and plump pieces always bring enthusiastic compliments from our four grown children and three grandkids.

Wow. We made this for a party and got rave reviews. Delicious!

Amazing recipe! I made this for a large family gathering, and everybody loved it. To save time, I coarsely chopped the onion and threw all of the marinade ingredients into the blender to make everything smooth.

I don't usually take the time to write a review after a recipe, but I had to come back to this one! I did the marinade all day and this was so moist and delicious. I did not take the time to cut up garlic and used powder instead...just as good. I think you could also use onion powder instead if you don't want the chunks in the marinade. Either way, this is delicious and we will most definitely make this again. I do suggest pounding the chicken first to make for extra moist meat.

I wonder if there is an equal substitute for the butter to make it less fattening?

My two year old loved this! She normally doesn't eat much meat at all but wanted thirds of this great recipe.

Oh gosh, this was SOOOOO good! As a marinade it was good, but I highly recommend taking the sauce and simmering all ingredients until the onion is soft. Then, serve this sauce along side chicken, fish or meat. It was so totally YUM when my boyfriend and I had this tonight. We will definitely make it again. We put the extra pieces of chicken in the sauce to soak it up overnight. Chicken salad here we come!! :)

I've made this several times now. My family loves it!

Great recipe! The chicken turned out moist and flavorful, even though I got sidetracked and left it on the grill for five minutes longer than I'd intended. The marinade was a bit too "chunky style" for my taste. Next time I make this I think I'll try tossing all of the marinade ingredients into the blender and hitting the "liquefy" button.
