Notes
Time-Saver Tip
If you don’t have time to marinade, baste the chicken with the sauce while you barbecue to get as much flavour as possible.
Extra Flavour
If you have time, marinade the chicken breast for several hours. You can also baste while barbecuing to get more flavour and colour.
Variation Tip
You can double the sauce in order that the chicken is fully immersed and you don’t need to flip it. This works if you’d like to use your slow-cooker to cook it as well.
