My husband loves chicken, so when we bought our first charcoal grill, we needed a recipe for barbecued chicken. We ended up combining two recipes to come up with this one. We've used it the past 3 or 4 years now and haven't come across any recipe that's better.

This is as easy as a recipe gets...it was wonderful and it makes almost like a broth...I made it with wild rice and poured the broth over the rice...this will become a recipe I make when I am looking for something good and quick!
