Maybe I should’ve gone with a “fruited plain” reference in that headline, but it’s the Fourth of July. I’m supposed to be on vacation.
Still, it’s early enough on the USA’s birthday to make plans for a your dinnertime cookout. While the coals are still hot and before the fireworks go off, here’s a solid ole’ American BBQ Chicken recipe you can whip up in no time.
