citrus_barbecued_chicken_breastsWhat are your favorite flavor combinations with barbecue sauce? I’ve just realized how great chicken tastes with citrus and barbecue sauce! A lot of people like orange chicken, while others like BBQ chicken, so why not both? A lot of people neglect the tasty properties of a grated orange peel, but let me tell you, it’s one very key ingredient. If you want to sweeten the deal, you can even use KRAFT THICK ‘N SPICY Honey Barbecue Sauce. Don’t take my word for it, try it for yourself!
