SOUTHERN
BARBECUED CHICKEN
(This
recipe came from North Carolina)
INGREDIENTS
1
cup ketchup
1
cup cider vinegar
1
cup water
4
Tbsp. light brown sugar, packed
1/2
prepared mustard
1/4
lb. (1 stick) unsalted butter
2
tsp. salt, or to taste
1
tsp. cayenne pepper
1/4
cup Worcestershire sauce
1
tsp. Liquid Smoke
8
to 10 pounds chicken, cut into serving pieces
DIRECTIONS
To
prepare the sauce, combine all ingredients down through the
Worcestershire sauce, in a 2-quart saucepan and cook together,
uncovered, until somewhat thickened, about 30 minutes.
To
barbecue the chicken, when the fire (grill) is ready, position the
rack 5 inches above the heat source.
Place
the chicken piees on the hot rack, skin side down. When seared, turn
and grill the pieces bone side down, until light golden.
Remove
the chicken from the grill and cover the grill with a layer of heavy
duty broiler foil. Puncutre the foil to make plenty of ventilation holes.
Place
the chicken on the foil, skin side down and generously spoon on the
barbecue sauce. Grill until the sauce is set on the chicken. Then
turn the pieces over, brush sauce on the skin side, and grill bone
side down.
Continue
brushing with sauce and turning until all the pieces are done, about
50 to 60 minutes. The more you brush with sace, the tastier your
chicken will be. To test for doneness, insert the tip of a sharp
knife into the largest piece of chicken breast. If the juices run
clear, it's done.
YIELD:
1 quart sauce
SERVES: 8-10 lbs chicken serves 8 to 10 people
