Description
This savory chicken is a favorite of mine to serve at family picnics. By cooking the poultry on a covered grill, the meat stays tender and juicy for a long period of time. This tangy, lightly sweet home-made barbecue sauce is extremely popular with everyone.

Instructions
- Melt the butter in a large saucepan and sautee the garlic until tender. Add the rest of the ingredients to the pot (omitting the chicken). Stir continuously as the basting sauce mixture comes to a boil. Remove the pan from the heat and set it aside.
- On a lightly greased grill rack, grill chicken, covered, over medium heat for 30 minutes, turning it occasionally. The sauce should be applied to the meat when turning.
- After 15 minutes of grilling, turn the meat several times and baste it several times until the internal temperature reaches 170 degrees.
- Pull the chicken off the grill, and allow to rest for a few minutes before serving with your favorite BBQ sides! Baked beans, potao salad ,and grilled vegetables go great with this chicken!
