Jeffs Barbecue Sauce for Chicken

January 27th, 2006 by Jeff in Sauces

If you have ever cooked chicken on a grill then the one recipe you are going to need is a barbecue sauce. There is nothing better on a summer afternoon than a plate of macaroni salad and barbecued chicken.

This sauce I found some time ago and adapted to my own tastes. It is a bit sweet and a bit spicy and if you prepare your chicken right, it will be your barbecue sauce for the rest of your life.



I use this exclusively for my barbecued chicken recipe.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/3 cup brown sugar (granulated or “brownulated” is best).
  • 1 15 ounce can of crushed tomatoes.
  • 1 cup of cider vinegar.
  • 1 large white onion chopped fine.
  • 7 tablespoons Grey Poupon dijon mustard.
  • 1 teaspoon of salt.
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons of cayenne pepper.

Preparation

Mix all of the ingredients and simmer for 15 minutes.

This recipe can be made ahead of time.

Modifications

Add 1/4 cup of red wine for a richer taste.

Add 1/2 teaspoon more cayenne pepper for more zing.

Add lemon zest to add a bitter sweet tang to the sauce.
