BBQ Sauce for Chicken
I have a friend who’s a chocoholic. Anything with chocolate, she’s right there enjoying it. Me… I’m a sauce-a-holic! I love sauces! I have a sauce for everything. There’s a sauce for this, another sauce for that, a specific one for this particular recipe, and so on.
It doesn’t have to be a fancy meal to make a sauce. When I serve my Crispy Oven Baked Chicken or Rotisserie Chicken with some French Fries, this is the sauce I enjoy making… my BBQ Sauce for Chicken! This is the perfect one for these dishes and it has just a little zip in it to enhance the chicken.
I use quite a few seasonings but when they’re all combined together, they blend harmoniously giving this BBQ Sauce for Chicken just the right amount of flavor without being overpowering. The beauty of making it from scratch is you probably have all the ingredients sitting in your cupboard already.
It’s nice as a dipping sauce but it can also be a great marinade. After cooling off, simply pour it over the chicken pieces of your choice making sure they are well coated and let them sit for a couple of hours. I also like to brush this sauce on my chicken while its rotisserieing. Not only does the skin get nice and crispy but it also adds a beautiful flavor to it.
Besides this incredible one, I do have a few other BBQ sauce recipes. Don’t act surprised! As I mentioned above, I’m a sauce-a-holic and of course, I have more sauce recipes. Here’s another one that complements chicken, pork, fish or lamb and it’s my Caribbean BBQ Sauce. It takes longer than the featured one but definitely a delicious recipe to add to your folder.
There’s no need to buy the ones from bottles, cans or even worse, the ones in the packets because now there’s a lovely homemade recipe you can make. This BBQ Sauce for Chicken pairs very well with your chicken dinner plus it’s more than a dipping sauce…
