Is there a place better than Texas to find a fantastic barbecue sauce? That’s where this one is from. We have served it at many family reunions and think it’s the best!
Ingredients
- 2 broiler/fryer chickens (3 to 4 pounds each), cut into 8 pieces each
- Salt and pepper
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 2 small onions, finely chopped
- 2 cups ketchup
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon ground mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
Instructions:
- Season chicken pieces with salt and pepper.
- Grill the chicken, skin side down, on a greased rack over medium heat for 20 minutes.
- In a small saucepan, prepare the barbecue sauce by heating oil over medium heat. Saute the onion until tender. Stir in the remaining sauce ingredients and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes.
- Turn the chicken and brush it with the barbecue sauce.
- Continue grilling for an additional 15-25 minutes, brushing the chicken frequently with the sauce. Ensure the chicken reaches a safe internal temperature of 165°F in the breast and 170°-175°F in the thigh, as measured with a thermometer.
