Not for butter phobes! This is one of the best tasting and easiest dishes you'll ever make. I got the recipe from my friend Cindy but she doesn't know where she got it. I have yet to meet a person who doesn't love this. Serve with a big loaf of crusty bread and/or mashed pots.

1 tablespoon oregano
salt and pepper
4 chicken breasts, split (or a mix of legs and breasts--your choice)

  • Place chicken in a baking dish skin up.
  • Pour sauce over chicken and marinate for 3-4 hours.
  • Bake uncovered at 350 for one hour or so.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs cook evenly and quickly, and they're easy to shred.
  • Be sure to season the chicken well with salt, pepper, and chili powder. This will help to give the chicken a flavorful crust.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet when cooking the chicken. If you overcrowd the skillet, the chicken will not cook evenly.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat. This will help to prevent the chicken from burning.
  • Shred the chicken as soon as it is cooked. This will help to keep the chicken moist and tender.
  • Serve the chicken immediately or store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the chicken for up to 3 months.
