BBQ Sauce and Chicken

Well me and the husband are trying to eat more lightly so we have been trying salads for dinner. It's from one of my favorite sites Our Best Bites which is awesome. This has 2 recipes from their site "BBQ Chicken" and "BBQ Chicken Cobb Salad". I made the BBQ chicken for dinner one night and then used the leftover chicken the 2nd night for the salad. We got 2 meals out of this which is awesome. I did make a homemade ranch dressing which was good but you can use whatever you want (blue cheese or your favorite bottled dressing).

BBQ Sauce
  • 1 1/2 C Ketchup
  • 1/4 C Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1 C light brown sugar
  • 1/2 C red wine vinegar
  • 2 1/2 T dry mustard
  • 2 t smoked paprika
  • 2 t tobasco
  • 2 t kosher salt
  • 1 1/2 t coarse black pepper
  • 1/2 C water

Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl and use as a marinade or to baste meat while grilling. This sauce tastes better as it sits for a day.

BBQ Chicken
  • 2-3 lbs of chicken (I use thighs)
  • 1 recipe of BBQ sauce above (reserve one cup for later)

Marinade chicken overnight in a 9x13 dish. Grill over medium and baste with reserved sauce. I actually just warmed it up in a measuring cup and drizzled over chicken when was done. Serve with your favorite side (corn on the cobb, baked beans).

Here is the link to the BBQ Chicken Cobb salad , my husband loved this salad, I received a text that said "This salad rocks".
