By ldelmas

Ingredients

• BARBECUE SAUCE:
• 2 broiler/fryer chickens (3 to 4 pounds each), cut into 8 pieces each
• Salt and pepper
• 2 tablespoons canola oil
• 2 small onions, finely chopped
• 2 cups ketchup
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 teaspoon ground mustard
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon hot pepper sauce

Preparation

Step 1

Sprinkle chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Grill skin side down, uncovered, on a greased grill rack over medium heat for 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, make barbecue sauce by heating oil over medium heat. Add onion; saute until tender. Stir in remaining sauce ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes.

Turn chicken; brush with barbecue sauce. Grill 15-25 minutes longer, brushing frequently with sauce, until a thermometer reads 165° when inserted in the breast and 170&deg-175° in the thigh.
Yield: 12 servings.
