Barbecued Chicken

Alright, so I know it's not summer and technically this is a summer recipe...but it's phenomenal and I couldn't wait 'till then to share it :) This homemade BBQ sauce has me entertaining ideas of making it in bulk and never buying pre-made again, its heavenly! Enjoy!


Barbecued Chicken
Serves 4  |  Prep Time: 20 Min.  |  Total Time: 30 Min

• 1 tsp Hot sauce
• 1/3 cup of Cider Vinegar
• 1/2 cup light brown sugar
• 1/4 cup molasses
• 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1/2 cup ketchup
• 1 Cut up chicken (3 pounds)
• 1 TBS vegetable oil, plus more for grates 
• Course Salt, and Fresh ground pepper

1 Heat a grill to medium. Simmer the hot sauce, vinegar, brown sugar, molasses, mustard, garlic, and ketchup in a small saucepan over medium heat until reduced to about 1 1/4 cups, 5 to 7 minutes.

2 In a large bowl, toss the chicken with the vegetable oil; season well with salt and pepper.

3 Lightly oil the grates; place the chicken on the grill. Cover the grill; cook, turning frequently, until the chicken registers 165°F (160°F for the breast) on an instant-read thermometer, 10 to 15 minutes. Uncover the grill; continue cooking, basting frequently with the sauce, until the chicken is glazed thoroughly, 3 to 4 minutes more. Serve with remaining Sauce.
