Barbecue Chicken

There are few things better than a perfectly cooked piece of barbecue chicken, with that crispy skin, slightly charred, and meat that is slightly smoky and moist clear through to the bone.  Slathering your chicken in SweetFire Barbecue Sauce and allowing the sauce to caramelize slightly until it is sweet and lick-your-fingers-clean sticky, takes barbecue chicken to a whole new level.  Here is our tried and true family recipe for the best barbecue chicken you've ever tasted!

 

SweetFire Barbecue Chicken

• 3 lbs chicken pieces
• salt and pepper
• 1 jar SweetFire Barbecue Sauce

Prepare your grill for cooking with direct heat.  Season chicken to taste with salt and pepper.  Place directly over the heat on the grill and allow to cook, covered, for 45 minutes turning once to prevent excessive burning.  After 45 minutes, brush with SweetFire barbecue sauce and allow to cook for 10 minutes more,  turn the chicken once more and brush the other side with SweetFire,  allow to cook for an additional 5 minutes.  Remove from grill and allow to rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

This chicken is delicious with any sides you choose, however, this time of year our families favorite is grilled corn on the cob and a big salad full of seasonal vegetables. 

Barbecue Season!

It's Barbecue time all over the country! The weather is warm, the days are getting longer and everyone is yearning to be outside.  What better way to enjoy the beautiful outdoors than by spending a lazy evening out by the grill.

We are spending lots of time out at the grill this time of year looking for new ways to use SweetFire Barbecue sauce, as well as enjoying our tried and true favorites.  We look forward to sharing family recipes, tips and tricks with you and can't wait to hear about all of the ways that you are using our delicious sauce!
