My reaction to the flavors and the degree to which I licked my fingers was just inappropriate and can't even remember the rest of the menu. Made for PRMR.

We just loved this recipe!!! I did make one change, I can't stand rosemary, so omitted that, but otherwise followed the directions. My 18 yo DS just loved this chicken and he is sooooo picky, so this is definitely a 5 star recipe here. Thanks for sharing the recipe. Made for PRMR tag game.

Very good grilled chicken. I added a little more honey mustard to my sauce, just personal preference. Thanks for sharing! Made for Newest tag.
