Back in our youth, a certain pop star with one name had a hit record with a song called “Dress You Up.” That song comes to mind when pondering this chicken, not in the least because it’s a big 80s music fan. All jokes aside, this bird is adorned with flavor: sweet and slightly spicy BBQ and chipotle mayo underneath, and crispy onions all over its body (well, breast). Could've been worse; we could've tried to write this description to “Wake Me Up Before You Go Go.”
