Recipe: Sweet and Spicey Barbecued Chicken

Why, yes! We eat like this every night.


SWEET AND SPICY BARBECUED GRILLED CHICKEN

Serves 4

2 ½ -3 lb frying chicken, cut up
2 Tbsp butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 C onion, chopped
8 oz tomato sauce (preferably homemade—see recipes in Basics section)
¼ C chili sauce (preferably homemade—see recipes in Basics section)
2 Tbsp brown sugar, packed firm
1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
½ tsp salt
½ tsp chili powder (or more, to taste, and preferably Pure—see instructions in Basics section)
¼ tsp pepper

Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and onion, and cook, stirring, until onion is tender. Stir in tomato sauce, chili sauce, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, salt, chili powder, and pepper, and simmer 5 minutes to blend flavors. Prepare charcoal grill (soak 2 hickory or pecan chunks for 1 hour prior to grilling, if smoky flavor is desired). Place chicken skin-side down on grill 6 inches from coals and cook covered 20 minutes, turning occasionally to grill evenly on all sides. Brush chicken with sauce and grill covered 15-20 minutes longer or until chicken is done, turning several times and brushing often with sauce.
