Pin This RecipeI know most people think you have to put up the grill after Labor Day, but that is not the case! We actually grill a lot during the Fall. The weather starts to cool off and we can finally sit outside and enjoy ourselves. It is WAY too hot during the summer months to sit outside! At least it is too hot in Alabama to sit outside during the summer.
This recipe couldn’t be any easier. It only has three ingredients! BBQ sauce, Italian dressing, and chicken. I’ve made this recipe several times, with several different brands of BBQ sauce. I found that this recipe works best with Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ sauce. It has the perfect consistency and a nice sweet flavor. I used Original Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ sauce, but they have tons of great flavors to choose from. They have a new Cola BBQ sauce and Hawaiian BBQ sauce that I want to try in this recipe. That would really change the flavor without complicating the recipe! I love that!

Can this be made in the air fryer? And if so at what degree and how long? And should they be flipped?
Thanks this looks and sounds so delish!😋
Made this recipe for dinner tonight – loved it! And Mr. Picky Pants loved it too! I have to tell you, he has loved every recipe that I have made from you! I made it with your Honey Garlic Green Beans, which he also loves! All your recipes are so easy – thank you for making dinner time fast, easy, & delicious!
This recipe is amazing and tastes so similar to Hawaiian chicken. I’ve been trying to figure out how to tweak it to turn make it tastes more so. Any ideas? 😁
Can you do this with skinless bone in chicken thighs and how long would you grill it for
You can use the marinade on any cut of chicken that you prefer. Use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 165ºF.
i want to tripple this recipe using 16lbs chicken drummets do i add 3 can coke to it
I have a large package of skin on bone in thighs. Has anyone baked this recipe with thighs? Do you cover? For how long?
Marinate the chicken and then remove the chicken from the marinade before cooking. Preheat oven to 425°F.Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and place a baking rack on top. Place on the rack and bake 35-40 minutes or until chicken reaches 165°F.
Broil 2-3 minutes to crisp skin if needed.
How long would you bake tenders in the sauce instead of breast
This sounds so good. I am going to try it in the hot air fryer to night. I will let you know how it turns out.
Hi!
I don’t grill anymore; I was wondering how this would do in the oven? Has anyone tried it?
I haven’t made it on the grill yet I baked it or made it on the stove in frying pan I cant remember but yes it was good how ever I did it
This was so good and so easy! We marinated for about 4 hrs and grilled. Delicious! Making it again for the crowd over the 4th. Thanks for the easy recipe!
Delicious! My family loved this! I poured it into a casserole dish and covered it with foil and baked it for 50 mins at 400 degrees. It was tender and delicious!
I make this in my crock pot and shred the chicken. Fam favorite!!

It should be fine. I’d cook it on low for about 4 hours.

I fixed it tonight with one large chicken breast. I baked it at 400 degrees for almost an hour instead of grilling. When my husband said he like it I knew I'd be fixing it again.
Can you use any salad dressing?
I have only made this as written. As always, please use your best judgment regarding substitutions and modifications.
Could you use this on a pork loin?

This was a delicious recipe, I followed the tip from Paige Joyce and marinated the chicken overnight, thank you for shearing.
This was really good and so easy! We marinated the chicken overnight and grilled the next day. Definitely making this again!
