Oh Kree...I made you BBQ chicken for dinner, I just cannot say enough about it, it was so delicious!. I made mine with thighs and legs, and doubled the sauce recipe, (added more garlic then stated) what a wonderful dinner we had. I served it with brown rice....this chicken recipe is is highly reccomended, and so easy to put together. Thank you Kree for posting, I will be making this often...KC :-) -

This was quick, easy, and tasty. It was a nice variation on the Catalina dressing and apricot preserves or Catalina and cranberry sauce chicken recipes I have made in the past. The only changes I made were to add a couple extra cloves of garlic and some black pepper. Served it over rice with some steamed broccoli. (13) -
Simple and quick. I had all the ingredients already in my kitchen and my family loved it. -
Saved dinner! I went to make a recipe that I made eons ago, but must have copied it wrong and it was a mess! Was low on time and ingredients, and really wanted a sauce with apricot preserves. Some how I found this! And some how I had everything for it! Including about 1/4 cup honey bbq sauce left. Made with drums and Fiance thought it was great! Little did he know I scrambled 30 minutes earlier to just get something in the oven!! Very good! Very simple!

I made this dish last night just the way the recipe is written. YUM! I don't see this serving 4-6 people though. This would maybe serve 2 with average appetites. Non-the-less, it was tasty. It may even be good on a toasted hamburger bun, or substitute the chicken with shredded beef or hamburger. I'm thinking the sauce alone would be a great sweet-tasting baste on ribs. So many possibilities! I will make this again. I'm always up for something easy and yummy!
