When Mom makes chicken, this is the way we like it prepared. It's juicy, has great barbecue flavor and makes a big batch, so it's perfect for a summer picnic and family reunions. -Brenda Beachy Belvidere, Tennessee

Very tasty marinade. We have made this twice with excellent results (although we did make only 1/4 of the recipe for the two of us).
