I love making foil packets for on the grill. No muss, no fuss. No dirty pans to clean. Chicken stays moist and tender. Add a side salad and dinner is served.
For this recipe, you first rub the chicken with blend of spices and then add a homemade BBQ sauce before sealing it up and putting it on the grill for 15-20 minutes.
