• Heat grill and cook chicken until done turning frequently and basting with sauce. Cook time will vary on cut of chicken used.
• Serve as desired and with sauce if you'd like.
• I like to serve this sliced into strips atop salad greens. The Southwest Ranch Salad Dressing by Parsley on this site goes well with this chicken.
