BBQ Hawaiian Chicken

I must tell you about my dinner we had the other night. I made this fabulous chicken dinner. I used the same recipe that I used for that Island Pork Tenderloin that I told you about, and turned it into an exotic BBQ chicken dish. I mixed up the spice mix, rubbed it all over the chicken, and then put it on the BBQ. It cooked up quickly and then
I glazed it with the brown sugar sauce.
And again, I used the brown sugar Splenda.



Look how juicy it is.
I used both chicken breast and chicken thigh meat.
The Hubby prefers breast,
but I'm a thigh kind of girl! ;-)




I served it up with my fresh Mango Salsa because, well... because I think everything goes better with my fresh Mango Salsa. Fresh asparagus (it's a bargan right now) and shrimp cocktails rounded out this meal which I will say again,... was spectacular!!!

  6. Megan, you've inspired me. I'm making pork tenderloin tonight, so I'm using your Island Pork Tenderloin recipe. I'm even going to the store right now to buy a fresh mango to make the salsa. You are such a sweetie. You planned out my dinner for me. Thank you.
