What’s Cooking?

Here’s a recipe I got from Sunset Magazine. It’s a great way to prepare chicken for a barbeque. Both kids and adults love to eat it because it’s sweet and flavorful but the glaze, which really makes this dish, is extra sticky so make sure you have handywipes available.

I usually mix overnight marinades like this directly in a large ziplock bag. Once the liquids and spices are thoroughly combined, put in the meat, zip up the bag and place it in the fridge. Halfway through the marinating time, rotate the pieces in the bag so the meat will evenly soak up the marinade.

Then when it’s time to bbq, just use tongs to take out the meat and place them on the grill for a minimum of fuss and muss.
