Grilled Barbeque Chicken Recipe

Grilled Barbeque Chicken Recipe

This Grilled Barbeque Chicken Recipe is really good; but does take some time. When I saw the ingredients in this recipe I couldn’t wait to give it a try. The combination of ingredients along with the Sherry just looked really good. This is a simple recipe but you need to give yourself a lot of time, the chicken needs to marinate for 2-4 hours, and the sauce has to cook down to a barbeque sauce consistency,  which could be done ahead of time, or while the chicken is marinating. You have to also add in the grilling time for the chicken which takes about an hour, but if you like firing up the grill this recipe is a lot of fun to prepare. Your family and friends will love it; just keep a lot of moist towel lets on hand because this chicken is sticky and finger licking good. So if you like to grill give this Grilled Barbeque Chicken Recipe a try-you’ll love it. Enjoy
