  1. Good basic recipe. I put bbq sauce on after cooking it and it was great.
     
  2. This is one of my family's favorites but I didn't know I could cut down on the cooking time, what a great help! I use a little olive oil, salt, pepper and garlic powder. I also stand it up on the inside part of an angel food cake pan and it comes out even better!
     
  3. This really fit the bill for a last minute meal. My DD did the prep and the bird was ready to take out of the oven by the time I got home from work. I am positive I will be using this method again. I am so glad you posted, HeatherTX.
     
  4. I did not use salt and pepper but cinnamon instead. This turned out wonderfully! My husband requested this recipe again as did my kids. Thankyou for the recipe idea!
     
  5. You are so right! This is a great recipe when you need to come up with a quick and easy dinner. So simple, yet so good. I also rubbed some butter on the outside of the chicken. Thanks for sharing this, HeatherTX.
