Can I swap the italian dressing for greek dressing in the recipe, Sandra? Wanna try somethin’ a bit different.
tried this BBQ chicken last night, wasn’t too shabby. next time gonna add some hot sauce to kick it up a notch.
Absolutely loved this BBQ Chicken recipe, Sandra! It’s going into my weekly rotation.
how long does the chicken need to rest before i can eat it asking for a friend
not to be that guy but using store-bought BBQ sauce doesn’t make it ‘classic Italian’, does it Sandra? Ever tried making your own sauce?
I think the idea is to mix Italian and BBQ flavors! Homemade sauce sounds cool tho.
Oh wow, BBQ chicken, how innovative, Sandra. Never seen that one before…
Looks yum! But is there a way to make this with less sugar, Sandra?
good recipe sandra reminds me of what my mother used to make
Any chance there’s a way to veganize this? Would love to try a plant-based version, Sandra!
If the chicken crossed the road, would it still taste as good with BBQ sauce?
