A delicious chicken that will be repeated this summer. Because I wanted to use what was on hand, used boneless chicken breast and adjusted the cooking time so as not to dry it out. The sauce was fabo over it and was enjoyed by the whole family. They also make great chicken sandwiches, just sayin! Thanks so much, Teresa, for sharing this lovely recipe. Made it for Food Friends and Fun “For your Consideration” and for Recipezazz “Billboard” tag games.

I loved this white BBQ sauce! I've been wanting to try it for a few years, and now I have. Delish! Hubby was not too keen, he's weird about vinegar, but I made a salad tonight with a vinegar-based dressing, and he loved that. Huh? Go figure. Grilling the chicken didn't happen tonight, so I baked it the old fashioned way, then put the sauce over. YUM! Anyway, I will make this sauce again. Hubs can leave his plain! Great recipe!

We loved this chicken so much we are going to make the same chicken tomorrow night for dinner. With all the added spices and flavors the sauce tastes so good.

Delicious! I used bone-in chicken thighs and brushed them with the bbq sauce before coming off the grill. Served some on the side as well. DH loved this sauce and gave it a big thumbs up. We loved the sweet/tart flavor of the sauce. Definitely a repeat at our house.

Great bbq sauce! The horseradish addition is so good. The grilling directions worked out perfectly. The chicken was tender and had a nice, crispy skin. Loved dunking the chicken into that delicious sauce. Thank you!
