BBQ Chicken Tender Salad
This
recipe is a great way to use Billy Gomer's Sweet 'N Tangy BBQ Sauce.
The chicken has a savory flavor that is accentuated by the sweet citrus
taste from the orange, the tang from the lemon, with a cool crisp
finish from the avocado and onion. If you are looking for a hearty and
refreshing summer barbecue recipe, this one is for you.
