Chicken and BBQ sauce are a perfect pairing that I find myself craving with increasing frequency as the weather starts to change towards fall. In my rendition, I give the BBQ sauce a tangy zip of lime that creates the type of delectable, outrageous sauce that will have you going back again and again all football Sunday long. Make this once, and I guarantee it will become your tailgate's must have.
Think serving this chicken dinner on its own isn't enough? Turn this dinner into our sweet BBQ lime chicken tacos, or serve alongside our cheesy BBQ lime chicken dip.
