We really liked this. It was easy to make, and the only problem I had was that the skin stuck to the grill. Next time I will make sure that the grates are oiled before I throw the chicken on. The flavor of this dish is very mild, so if you like it spicy, you will need to add something to jazz up the heat factor.
