Some time ago, I found a great publication called "Cuisine at Home". Everyone should try it out. Go to "cuisineathome.com". They recently published a book on grilling. I found the following receipe in that publication. Enjoy. Ingredients
- Root Beer Sauce
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 1 TB minced garlic
- 2 TB olive oil
- 2 cups root beer
- 3/4 cup ketchup
- 1/2 cup cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup prepared yellow mustard
- 2 TB molasses
- 1 TB Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teas. red pepper flakes
- Juice of 1/2 lime
- Sliced tomatoes and homemade potato salad (on the side)
- For the chicken
- 1 chicken cut into 8 pieces (3-1/2 lbs.)
- Vegetable Pol
- Salt and Pepper
Procedure
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Coat chicken with vegetable oil, salt and pepper, arrange on baking sheet and roast for 45 minutes. Meanwhile, make the sauce.
- Start getting your grill ready - to medium-high heat.
- Meanwhile, saute onions and garlic, for the sauce, in olive oil for 2-3 minutes over medium heat.
- Add root beer, bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer until reduced to 1/2 cup, about 15 minutes.
- Stir in ketchup, vinegar brown sugar, mustard, molasses, Worcestershire, and pepper flakes, simmer for 5 minutes. Remove pan from heat and add lime juice.
- Dip chicken into barbeque sacue to coat, then grill, covered, for 5 minutes. Dip pieces in sauce again, turn over, and grill until charred and crisp, 5 minutes more.
- Serve with tomatoes and potato salad on the side.
- One final tip. If you want really juicy chicken, then brine it. See brine process elsewhere in my Blog (Best Grilled Chicken in the World) - (generally, 1 litter of cole plus 1/2 cup kosher salt, brine for 2 hours, drain and pat dry).
