Notes

  • Need ideas for the perfect sides? This yummy peach chicken recipe goes great with green beans or seasoned potatoes.
  • Not sure which BBQ sauce to use? This is a personal taste. I used a honey BBQ sauce I had opened in the fridge.
  • To avoid messes, use a large cast iron skillet with high sides and place a cookie sheet under said skillet to get any possible drippings.
