I love BBQ chicken but where I live grilling isn't always convenient. In the winter, it's too cold and during the summer it's just too hot. So when I get that craving this is my turn-to recipe.

Moist and delicious with this recipe you can get your BBQ chicken fix without having to fire up the grill. It's extremely easy to make. A great way to serve BBQ chicken at a cookout that can be made ahead of time. If you have leftovers (or just want a different option), shred the chicken and serve on Hawaiian rolls. Yum!

    Pour BBQ mixture over chicken, making sure to coat the chicken evenly.
