Backyard BBQ Chicken

Of this dish, Chef Pat says, "I wasn't sure if I wanted to make this dish for CookUnity because it's so simple and yet, that's exactly what I love about this dish!" Saucy, smoky chicken thighs are served up with the classic backyard BBQ sides of creamy American-style potato salad and coleslaw. This is real down home cooking; no frills, just tasty.

My all time favorite at the moment. Nice flavor on chicken, salad, and coleslaw. Enough said!

Trung · 10/26/23

Still one of my all time favorites, mostly for the tangy potato salad. I never thought I’d like one more than my own. Crisp slaw. I kinda want to order the bbq sauce all by itself.

Thought I was at a cook out - wow

Roger · 10/16/23

Very good although the instructions forget to tell you that there's mashed potatoes underneath the chicken
