The BBQ sauce on this juicy grilled chicken is out-of-this world! We "wow" people with this recipe every summer during outdoor entertaining. I always double the sauce recipe to have extra on the side for dipping. The original recipe calls for 2 small boiler chickens quartered but we prefer using bone-in, skin on chicken breasts. Slow cooking on the grill gives it the best flavor. I hope you enjoy this as much as we do - it's a favorite at this house.

SERVES 8 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

3 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons butter
1 cup Heinz ketchup (a must for us)
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup chili sauce (Heinz is a good one)
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1/2-3/4 tablespoon celery seed
1 tablespoon prepared mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 dashes hot pepper sauce
8 large chicken breast halves, bone-in with skin (a large family pack will usually have about 7-8 breasts.)

Directions

1
In a saucepan, saute the garlic in butter until tender.
2
Add the next 8 ingredients.
3
Bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
4
Remove from the heat and set aside.
5
Grill the chicken, covered over medium heat for 30 minutes, turning occasionally.
6
Baste with sauce.
7
Grill 15 minutes longer or until juices run clear.
8
Continue basting and turning during the last 15 minutes of cooking.
9
Serve with any extra sauce you set aside for dipping.
10
(The sauce is just that delicious!).

Un-freaking-believable! I'm a BBQ sauce afficionado and this pretty much tops them all. I make a homemade BBQ sauce for my BBQ ribs that I thought could not be beat and this may either be equal or better! It's THAT good! I tripled the garlic and 1.5'd the whole recipe. I added a lot more than 2 dashes of hot pepper sauce. I used this on boneless skinless chicken breasts. TO DIE FOR! SO AMAZING! MUST TRY!

This chicken was incredibly succulent. I was missing celery seeds, and therefore subbed celery salt for the seeds and salt required in the recipe. I also increased the hot pepper sauce slightly. I prepared this with boneless, skinless chicken breasts, and basted very frequently while grilling. Without the skin and bones, my grilling time was naturally shorter. My hubby loved the flavor of this sauce and liked that I had reserved some for dipping the finished chicken. I also roasted corn on the cob, tossed a salad and made Grilled Ranch Bread ("grilled" Ranch Bread) for a complete meal. It was delicious and perfect for a summer evening. UPDATE***The next evening, I had some pork loin chops defrosted for dinner. When I asked Hubby how he wanted them prepared, he requested that we grill them with this bbq sauce. The flavor was awesome. He thinks that we should never purchase bottled sauce again.:D

Very moist chicken and the sauce is delicious. I didn't following the grilling instructions at all and baked the chicken breasts ( 8 of them) covered in foil for 50 minutes. I then uncovered, turned on the broiler, marinated the breasts every five minutes for fifteen minutes and they were wonderful. Thank you!
