Spicy Grilled Chicken
Country Woman
Meet the Cook: Very near the top of the list of foods I prepare for company is this chicken. It's easy to fix and has never flopped. It is a family favorite, too - any leftovers are great in a salad or sandwich.
My husband and I are the parents of eight, who range in age from 24 to 11. We also have three grandchildren.
