When our neighborhood has a cookout, I always take along this chicken and watch it quickly disappear! My family loves this recipe because of the zesty seasoning blend and no-fuss barbecue sauce. -Linda Scott, Hahira, Georgia

I followed the recipe exactly and the chicken was dry and overcooked. The sauce was also too thick and sweet. I would not recommend this recipe.

This recipe is easy to follow and the chicken turned out great. The sauce is a little sweet for my taste, but it was still very good.

This chicken was delicious! I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts and they were cooked through perfectly. The sauce was also very good, with a nice balance of sweetness and smokiness.

I've tried many barbecue chicken recipes, but this one is by far the best. The chicken was cooked to perfection and the sauce was amazing. I highly recommend this recipe!
