HONEY-GLAZED GRILLED CHICKEN



Honey-Glazed Grilled Chicken image

This recipe calls for a whole chicken cut up, but feel free to use your favorite pieces. I like using the whole chicken because it gives everyone a choice. If you like your chicken saltier or spicy, add some seasoned salt before starting the grilling process. I find the soy sauce adds enough salt for me. Prep time does not include the time needed for your grill to get hot.
