We are big chicken eaters around here. While J loves a good steak, Grambo and I don’t eat very much red meat. So it’s definitely all about the chicken around here. J has been talking about getting a grill so I have been on the hunt for some great chicken recipes for him. This Jack Daniels Chicken recipe from Krista at Everyday Mom’s Meals has me drooling so I’ll definitely be sharing it with him!
Jack Daniels Chicken Recipe
Although I usually gravitate towards recipes with fairly short ingredient lists, this chicken sounds too good. So the number of ingredients that go into the sauce doesn’t have me too overwhelmed. And if I can pass the recipe off to J and have him take care of all of it, then I will be thrilled!
