Amazing Grilled Chicken
Source: BBQ sauce recipe "Still House Barbecue Sauce" from Barbecue Bible Sauces, Rubs, and Marinades by Steven Raichlen
1 c whiskey
1 c ketchup
1 c cider vinegar
1 c packed dark brown sugar
1/2 c onion, finely minced
2 T Worcestershire Sauce
1 T Tabasco (or less if you want less heat)
1/2 t black pepper
1/4 t liquid smoke
2 Chicken breasts
Your favorite rub or seasoning (I used Magic Dust from Memphis BBQ)
Combine all the ingredients in a large, heavy saucepan. Bring to boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, until thickened, about 20-30 minutes. Stir every once in awhile.
The sauce will reduce quite a bit from the simmering, but it makes it thick and flavorful.
While the sauce is simmering, preheat the grill to medium.
Slice the chicken breasts in half lengthwise, so they are thin. Sprinkle both sides with the rub or seasoning of your choice.
Grill the chicken over medium heat for 5-6 minutes per side. After the second side has cooked, baste it with some of the BBQ sauce. Flip it and baste the other side. Let it cook for one minute longer.
Serve with your favorite sides like potato salad, corn bread muffins, baked beans, corn on the cob, or whatever else you like.
