Mesquite Tin Foil Chicken will have your taste buds awaiting each and every delectable morsel that you devour. Not to mention the fact that there will be a slight kick to your BBQ sauce. Indeed, I doubt friends and family will be able to tell the secret ingredient is curry. While the curry adds a touch of heat it also adds a hint of flavor that kicks up the BBQ sauce a notch. This chicken moist, tender and delicious it is also a KETO meal with only 2 carbs per serving.
Often, times we find ourselves running around trying to accomplish our tasks for the day while forgetting to remember what to cook for dinner. What to do? Well, if you have frozen chicken in your freezer this meal comes together in no time. Simply make the tin foil packet. Place the packet in the oven and forget about it until the timer goes off and dinner is served in no time flat. Easy peasy.
Not to mention that this dinner can also be made from thawed chicken and in fact, takes less time to bake. Needless to say that you can still serve your family a from scratch meal without grains, dairy, refined sugar or hydrogenated oils. Not to mention that this dish is super easy to make and as a matter of fact easy to clean up.
Sauce or no sauce for you Mesquite Tin-Foil Chicken:
Not only can this dish be served as is or use the juices to create a sauce to top your chicken with thereby making it a little versatile. Did I mention that this is a vintage recipe of sorts as when I was younger this was all the rage?
Since I can’t buy store bought BBQ sauce I have to make my own. My favorite is the Hickory BBQ sauce used in not only this recipe but many others.
Notes:
I still can’t believe that I have written a recipe a day for almost 1 year. How is that possible? My family jokes that they won’t get to taste them again for another 4 years. I adore variety and am very eclectic in almost every aspect of my life.
While it will be hard for me to take a short break to get all my recipes up to date and SEO (Search Engine Optimization) attached. It will also be good to have a short vacation and improve my blog. I hope that you will continue to look at my recipes and perhaps follow my facebook page as I will upload my updated posts there. https://www.facebook.com/larenascorner/
