I'll be honest, the only reason I rated this so high, is because the recipe for the BBQ sauce is so darn good. That's not to say this is bad, it's just that for me, I prefer BBQ chicken on an actual barbecue. As other reviewers have noted, while the chicken does indeed come out "fall off the bone" tender, it comes at a cost. Namely, it is swimming in the sauce, and in my opinion tastes more boiled then barbecued. Speaking of the sauce however...it is an EXCELLENT sauce. I've never made a homemade BBQ sauce before...I usually buy Sweet Baby Ray's bottled sauce, which is also excellent. This sauce compares VERY well with a store-bought sauce, AND it's easy to make. I only made three changes/additions to this: 1) I doubled the recipe, as it wasn't very much, and next time I may triple or quadruple it. 2) I only added 1 TBS of water, as other reviewers mentioned it being runny. 3) I added 1 1/2 TBS of Tomato Paste. I did this because I noticed most bottled BBQ sauces contain this ingredient. I then followed the original directions and cooked it on the stove for 15 minutes, and the sauce came out AMAZING. I think that's one of the keys...a lot of reviewers are skipping the cooking of the sauce and putting it right on the chicken, which I think is a mistake. As for the chicken itself, I personally like a crispy skin on my BBQ Chicken, so this did not turn out well. I do however think this sauce would be AMAZING on an actual barbecue. I also think that if you used this cook
