EASY CAROLINA BARBECUE CHICKEN
FAMILY DINNER: For a tasty meal on family day, try easy Carolina barbecue chicken. We like our barbecue with baked beans, coleslaw and wholegrain bread. Spoon fresh strawberries over vanilla ice cream for dessert. Plan ahead: Prepare extra chicken and save enough coleslaw for a second night ( see Round 2: Heat and Eat, Page 2).
