Submitted by breezermom

"This couldn't be more economical....buy a whole chicken on sale at the grocery store, and ask the butcher to half it for you.....or do it yourself. Feeds 2 hearty appetites, or 4 small appetites."

This was a yummy chicken. I used a huge chicken breast for one serving and it turned out well. The vinegar gave it just a bit of a tang which was a little unexpected but nice. Thanks for sharing this great recipe, breezer. Made for FYC tag.

Great grilled chicken recipe. I loved the flavor blend of the butter, honey and garlic. This is a super simple recipe with tasty results. Note: My electric grill tends to cook hot and flame up a lot with basting recipes, and I ended up burning the heck out of the chicken skin. I just took most of the skin off and basted the meat a few more times before taking it off the grill.

Boy, was this a hit.. Very satisfying dinner. Followed the directions to a tee, and one delightful chicken was well enjoyed. We also thought this had a nice variety of seasonings. It is very economical, and into the save file this goes . Made for PRMR tag.

I made this for my family because it sounded yummy, and to them, it was. Perfect blend of sweet and savory, and the grilling just seemed to make it moist. I tried a little bit of the meat, and it was quite good -- just too fattening for me.
