Best Ever BBQ Chicken

By kimvess

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.

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.)

Preparation

Step 1

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!).
