I am sorry I have not rated this recipe until now. This is one of our favourite chicken recipes that is so easy with loads of flavour. Thank you so much for posting. We make it all the time for a lovely family meal. -
Delicious and easy. You can use three large chicken half-breasts (recommend on the bone) instead of a whole chicken cut-up. Also: I think it's important to bake COVERED with foil. My first effort (without) was too dry, but the second one (with) was perfect. "Enough ketchup" here is, in my view, 2x or 3x the mayo.

I'm a 27 year old mother of one and I LOVE cooking. Unfortunately, my husband and I have become very strict dieters (we've both lost over 50 lbs.!) and don't eat most of the stuff I love to cook - so I plan elaborate parties for all of our friends and make a giant buffet of everything I like to cook! It's been working out well and we have TONS of new friends!
