Honey Orange Grilled Chicken
For Christmas my friend, Robin, gave me a great cookbook. It was a collection of recipes from a bakery owner in Munford, AL. Robin grew up eating food from Miss Evelyn’s and loves everything she makes. Miss Evelyn’s family decided to collect her recipes and make a cookbook. I am so glad they did! Chicken Legs and I have been working our way through the cookbook and have loved everything we’ve made.
This recipe for Honey Orange Grilled Chicken is from Miss Evelyn’s book. It is crazy simple and tastes amazing! Honey, orange juice and Italian dressing mix. I love using packets of Italian dressing mix – it adds tons of flavor! We let the chicken hang out for a few hours in the fridge before firing up the grill. It smelled fantastic while it cooked and tasted even better. Love simple delicious grilling recipes!

Could this be made with liquid Italian dressing?
Do you think this can be made in the oven? I am thinking about making some Honey Orange Chicken BROILED or BAKED Kabobs for my husband's birthday gathering. 🙂
sure – I usually pan sear the chicken on both sides for 2 or 3 minutes and then finish it off in the oven – 425ºF for about 10 minutes

I liked this a lot! I want to try to make a salad with mandarin oranges and cranberries with this. Not sure what to do about the dressing.
I tried this and it is absolutely delicious thanks Stephanie!!
Thank you Stephanie for this post!!! I'm so glad you are getting good use of Mrs. Evelyn's cookbook!!!

This recipe looks so tasty and fun. You made me NEED a copy of Miss Evelyn's cookbook. I don't suppose that is possible. My grandma's name was Evelyn and she was a great cook too. Oh, how I wish I had her recipes too. I am pretty sure they were all in her head and never written down.
@mommar6 If you have any problems getting a cookbook, let me know and I'll be glad to get you one and mail it to you! robinandmarty1@yahoo.com
