BBQ Chicken
MyΒ BBQ ChickenΒ pairs perfectly with this salad. It is beautifully seasoned and has that zip from the bbq sauce that makes it oh so tangy. I have recipes to make my easy BBQ Chicken in the crock pot or in the oven. Both of these recipes can be made on the grill too. It is so easy to make, and so tender and juicy, which is why is it one of the most popular recipes on my blog.
