I am doing something today that I haven’t done in a long time on this site: I am posting a recipe without a photo. Gasp! Alert the media! Seriously, you all know what BBQ sauce looks like. With a food like BBQ I care more about the ingredients then the color and am therefore imposing that on you all.
This BBQ sauce is perfect for grilling chicken. The trick is to baste the chicken with the sauce about every 12 minutes as its grilling. Or you can use this sauce for anything else you can imagine.
