Honey Pecan Grilled Chicken

I love the grill.  Especially in the summer.  Especially on the weekends when I work part time.  Maintenance Man can grill some serious meat.  I might even call him my grill master. {swoon}

This particular recipe has been hanging around in my handy-dandy purple recipe binder for quite some while.  We should have made it sooner.  We should have because it is grr----eat! {that's my best Tony the Tiger impression.}
