Junior League Barbecued Chicken

Submitted by Nancy G.

"This chicken can be baked in the oven or grilled but it is better if cooked on the grill. It is a sweet marinade and sauce and the barbecue sauce can easily be halved or doubled for more or less chicken. The recipe comes from Downtown Savannah Style."

This was a nice change from the ordinary BBQ chicken....kind of oriental tasting...the only thing I changed was I used sugar free brown sugar...very tasty.
