Notes
This recipe is so easy and simple. Because it can be cooked in a single pot, you can cook it in a number of ways. You can use your oven, BBQ, dutch oven and even a solar cooker such as the GoSun. You could also cook on the stove top. To do so, I recommend cooking the chicken and onion first, and then adding the sauce, bring to the boil and then reduce the heat down to a simmer. While the sauce reduces, turn the chicken in the sauce to coat.
