To be totally honest, when I tasted Mexican barbecued chicken, I thought the recipe would be extremely complicated. Fortunately, I was mistaken. This Mexican specialty is as simple as it is delicious. The sauce is so delectable that it's a good idea to have some rice and tortillas handy. You won't need a knife to cut the chicken; it'll fall apart by simply touching it. The chicken will be so juicy and delicious that you'll want to eat it again and again!
