This chicken has great flavor and is super easy to make. Plus it marinates and cooks all in one dish.
It may seem weird to melt butter for a marinade only to put it in the fridge and have it harden. It certainly did to me and I even thought about not marinading it and just cooking it in the butter sauce. But I decided to follow the directions and see how it tasted. Since it tasted good, I guess I will stick with marinating the chicken.
