Darcy’s BBQ Sauce

I have been making this sauce for 25 years. It makes the best BBQ chicken and is a great complement for potato salad, grilled corn with cayenne butter, and a wedge of ripe water melon.

Notes

When marinating a whole chicken or bone in skin on chicken parts you can start marinating the night before grilling.
If you are using boneless, skinless chicken, only marinate for an hour. Otherwise, the chicken gets tough.
