Orange Barbecue Chicken

Orange Barbecue Chicken is a tasty way to cook your chicken on the barbecue. It is just one of many ways that you can make your barbecues different from those of other people.

This dish can be enhanced by a salsa of your choice. Do not cover chicken in any type of citrus juice before cooking because the juice will start cooking the meat without heat.
