POOR TIRED MAN CHICKEN

Poor tired man chicken image

An older Mid-Louisianan woman taught me this recipe, she said it was her "poor, tired, husband's favorite" chicken, it's cheap, easy, and comes out kinda like chicken teriyaki! Even the kids love it! And... who woulda thought? This recipe also works well on pork...
