Karen’s Killer Fixin’s #Grill #Chicken : BRANDIED BARBECUE CHICKEN #Recipe from Karen’s Kitchen

It’s time for Karen’s Killer Fixin’s! Over the years, I’ve filled two 4-inch, 3-ring binders with my own creations as well as recipes my family and friends were willing to share with me. I simply love to cook and want to share that love with my readers. So every Friday, I share one recipe I think you and your family might enjoy. It might be a main course recipe from my own kitchen or a guest author favorite. It could be a cookie or baked item. Candy. Salads. Whatever strikes the eye and fancy…which today is BRANDIED BARBECUE CHICKEN!

Who doesn’t love grilled chicken? Depending on the flavors you’re marinating or coating the chicken with, there are so many different ways to blend those flavors with the smoke from your barbecue. If you make this one under the broiler in your oven, you won’t have the fabulous smoke, but it will still be wonderful. Variation is the spice of life, right? Because of the brandy, do watch the chicken doesn’t scorch or catch fire. If you’re using the broiler, cook 4-6 inches below the flame. Feel free to set the broiler on low broil and take more time to cook the chicken.

I hope you enjoy today’s Killer Fixin’s. Happy eating!
