Chicken Blonde

This recipe is from the cookbook, "Southern Living: 30 Years of Our Best Recipes". It is my favorite grilled chicken recipe. Microwaving is a shortcut that cuts the cooking time in half for this chicken that finishes on the grill.

Ingredients

• 1 1⁄2 cups mayonnaise
• 1⁄3 cup apple cider vinegar
• 1⁄4 cup lemon juice
