One of my favorites so far. The chicken came out very juicy and flavorful. I have loved every recipe I have made on this website so far. It makes the Paleo lifestyle super easy!

Thank you for the great recipe! The sauce is incredible and the chicken came out much juicier than it does when I grill it. I was starting to get bored of making the same old meals all the time, but this recipe really revitalized my commitment to eating paleo! It went great with grilled asparagus too (drizzle with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and pepper before grilling for a few min). Yummy!
