NOTE:
This recipe was used in a wedding
buffet for 125 people and was very well liked.
The Groom actually made the chicken ahead of time in batches and froze them.
The chicken was thawed slowly under refrigeration and them baked in a oven
until
very hot and put into a rented chaffing dish on a buffet table.
Between heating batches of the chicken it was kept hot wrapped in blankets
for a short period of time.
The chicken was taking longer than expected to reheat, as there was
so much of it, the oven was turned up to 400 deg.
A rice pilaf was also served along with this dish.
