Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients except the chicken in a saucepan and bring to a soft boil.
- Dunk the chicken in the sauce and place it on an outdoor grill.
- Continue to dunk the chicken every time you turn it, approximately every 10 minutes.
- Grill over medium heat for about 1 hour.
Tips & Substitutions
For a deeper flavor, marinate the chicken in the sauce for a few hours or overnight before grilling. If you don't have dry white wine, you can substitute with chicken broth or apple juice. Ensure your grill is preheated to medium heat for even cooking. Monitor the chicken closely to avoid flare-ups from the butter drippings.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the barbecued chicken with classic sides like Swanson Skinny Mashed Potatoes or a fresh garden salad for a balanced meal. Corn on the cob and coleslaw also make excellent companions, enhancing the outdoor barbecue experience. For a heartier option, pair with Grandmother's Brunswick Stew for a satisfying feast.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover barbecued chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the chicken in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 20 minutes, or until heated through. You can also grill it briefly to restore some of the crispy texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this recipe in the oven instead of on the grill?
Yes, you can bake the chicken in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 45-60 minutes, basting with the sauce every 15 minutes. This method will still yield a deliciously moist chicken, though you may miss the smoky flavor from grilling.
