Beer-Barbequed Chicken
Serves 4
TIP: BBQ chicken is
often difficult to cook properly. If you prebake the
chicken and then finish grilling it on the BBQ, the
results will be tender, juicy, and evenly cooked chicken
pieces.
Ingredients:
1
frying chicken - about 3 lbs, cut-up
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1-1/2 cups prepared BBQ sauce
1 cup beer
Dash of HOT pepper sauce
Preparation:
1.
Place chicken into 13X9in baking dish. Melt butter and
brush chicken evenly with about half of it. Mix remaining
butter with BBQ sauce, beer, and HOT pepper sauce.
2. Bake chicken uncovered at 350F for 30 min.
3. Meanwhile, get coals evenly HOT on the BBQ
4. Dip partially cooked chicken in BBQ sauce mixture.
Place on grill over medium HOT coals.
5. Cook, turning twice, and basting with the sauce until
chicken tests done. When pierced with a fork in the
thigh, juices should run clear.
6. Dip again in BBQ sauce. Serve HOT or cooled. Remaining
sauce may be heated and served at the table as a dip.
