    I loved the Grilled Salsa Chicken so much.  I had to try something similar with marinara and fresh Italian herbs.

    It’s a toss up.

    They are both just so yum-ilicious!

      Sounds great. I’m always on the lookout for easy grilling recipes for summer meals.

      Hi! Just got our first grill and I’m excited to try this! My ? is: doesn’t the sauce under the skin leak out while you grill the chicken? I’m assuming you put the meat right onto the rack, not on a pan, right?
      thanks!

      Wonder if it would work to marinade chicken breasts with the sauce and herbs – I have a hang up on bone in chicken.

      Im not very successful on grilling chicken. Think this would work in the oven?

      Looking at the price of the chicken, what is a manager’s special?

    I have a little problem. I cannot make a meal that costs more than $5. It’s unnatural, but my pocketbook thanks me.
