This is THE best!!!!! I remember my Uncle coming down to help, well, basically cook the chicken for our church chicken b-b-q's! My mouth is watering just thinking about it and I just ate it last nite for dinner!!! :)
Here is my Uncle cooking the chicken behind the church!
Now, I can't make this as good as my Uncle did, or when my parents took over the last few years, but I must say, it turned out pretty good! :)
My Uncle would take a spray bottle and spray the chicken. I didn't have a spray bottle, so I took the sauce by the spoonfulls and dumped it over the chicken as it cooked. It still turned out, but I am going to be getting me a spray bottle for next time! :)
Melt the butter...
Add the worchestershire sauce with all the other ingredients...
Here it all is mixed up!
Slap the chicken on the grill (you can use any kind of chicken, I just used chicken legs with the skin on)
Chicken half way done!!! I SOOOO wish I had a scratch and sniff going on here! Oh my goodness, does it ever smell SUPER good, and did I mention it is SUPER easy to make!
Look at this piece of chicken! Oh my, can we say YUMMY?!?!?!?
On the plate ready to go in and ready to eat!!!
My dad and Uncle Eli would've been proud of this chicken! Not to be bragging, but it was pretty good! Now when I asked my Aunt if she cared if I posted this, I told her that it wasn't as good as theirs, but ya know what, it's ok! It was still finger-lickin' good!
My kids are SUPER thrilled whenever we eat "dead-chicken"! I fixed a whole chicken on time a few months back and my little guy asked what kind of chicken it was, so I said it was dead chicken. So, every time we have any type of chicken other than the typical boneless, skinless kind, it's dead chicken! Gotta love the things my kids say! :)
Even my littlest LOVED it and was REACHING for more!!! :) That boy loves his meat! :)
CHICKEN BARBECUE SAUCE
1/2 cup water
1 cup vinegar
1 stick butter
1/8 cup Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon salt (I think I put in about 1 to 2 teaspoons)
Dash of pepper
Mix all these ingredients up and keep warm while chicken is cooking. Keep spraying the chicken as it cooks!
*This is actually 1/4 of the recipe they used for the b-b-q's. So if you are cooking more, just double it.
I also added a bit of hot sauce, not enough to make it super hot, but just add a bit of extra flavor.
ENJOY!!!
Interesting how your pictures and comments bring back those chicken barbecue memories. I would get the chicken halves (on ice) from Booth's Poultry Farm (the family-run business in Orland) in those big, waxed, corrugated cardboard boxes, and Eli took over from there. Oh, yes, I made the sauce. I like the addition of some "heat" in your recipe, Mandy.
