During the summer, my family often requests this recipe—especially our 19-year-old (we also have a 15-year-old and a 14-year-old). Simply add garlic bread for a great meal. It's wonderful, too, for a picnic or any gathering. —Lori Thon, Basin, Wyoming

We apologize for any confusion with this recipe. As others have stated, the chicken gets added to the marinade mixture, which are the first six ingredients. To clarify, we'll update the method soon.

..It SAYS..add chicken to dressing...but one should be able to figure out it is the MARINADE...even cookbooks have typos!

whiskeyechoalpha ~ I think you need to get "off" the whiskey and on the coffee to cure your confusion ~ there is nothing unclear about the recipe ingredients or directions ~ try again

What's wrong with the directions? Can you not read English?
