BARBECUED PICNIC CHICKEN

Barbecued Picnic Chicken image

I like to serve this savory chicken at family picnics. Cooked on a covered grill, the poultry stays so tender and juicy. Everyone loves the zesty, slightly sweet homemade barbecue sauce-and it's so easy to make. -Priscilla Weaver, Hagerstown, Maryland
