Barbecue Grilled Chicken

Posted by Donna:

A few weeks ago, Larry and I experimented with a new recipe I had found which was really for ribs, but I decided to try it on chicken breasts instead. They turned out to be some of the best we've had.

4 chicken breasts (flattened until about 1/2 inch or less thick)
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1 T. White sugar
1 T. paprika
2 tsp. pepper
1/2 tsp. chili powder
2 tsp. ground cumin
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup cider vinegar
1/2 cup ketchup
1/4 cup chili sauce
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1 T. lemon juice
2 T. chopped onion
1/2 tsp. dry mustard ( I didn't have this on hand; so I used regular mustard)
1/4 tsp.garlic powder


Mix together the white sugar,garlic powder, paprika, pepper,chili powder, and cumin. Rub the spices over the flattened chicken breasts, which have been cut into serving pieces. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

An hour before you're ready to grill your chicken, mix together the brown sugar, cider vinegar, ketchup, chili sauce, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, onion, mustard and garlic powder. Simmer over medium-low heat, uncovered, for 45 minutes.Reserve a small amount for basting and the rest for a sauce to dip or pour on the chicken.

Preheat grill on medium heat.

Baste the chicken while grilling. The chicken will be very juicy and tender. As I said before, I really liked this recipe. It took a while, but some things are worth it. This particular recipe was from all recipes. If used for ribs, which this recipe was for originally, it's done completely different. I don't think you'll be disappointed if you try it. Pin It Now!
