Delicious! I couldn't figure out how to skewer the chicken on the rosemary sprigs -- no problem just scattered rosemary all around the chicken. This recipe makes me wish I owned a deep-fryer (maybe for the next holiday) as i used a large frying pan which worked well. Thanks for sharing!

Made for the Austria region of CQ4 & the Happy Campers team - I made a minor change. DH & I both prefer light meat, so I used skinless chicken breasts that I halved to create 2 tenders each & tenderized slightly w/my meat mallet. My method paired w/the lemon, butter & rosemary sauce made the tasty result resemble chicken piccata to a degree. The chicken was tender, flavorful & served w/a potato recipe (non-CQ4) we also enjoyed very much. Thx for sharing this recipe w/us. We loved it & it will definitely grace our dining table again. :-)

Delicious!!! This was a huge hit with the whole family. It was easy to make and just delicious. My deep fryer got a big workout! I would have had to use a huge amount of rosemary sprigs for all of that chicken so I only used it with some. The sauce is really good but I would use more rosemary. Made for CQ17 for the Smokin' Chefs. Thanks! :)
