bbq chicken with bbq sauce

Barbecue Picnic Chicken


  • Total Time: 1 hour

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.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 2 tsp butter
  • 1 cup ketchup
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup chili sauce
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp Celery seed
  • 1 tbsp mustard
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 dashes hot pepper sauce
  • 2 whole chickens (cut into pieces)

Instructions

  1. 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. 
  2. 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.
  3. After 15 minutes of grilling, turn the meat several times and baste it several times until the internal temperature reaches 170 degrees.
  4. 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!
