I guess it is the cool overcast day that makes me crave hot and spicy food. I don't want greasy and fried, though.
I am making my favorite spicy, sweet barbecue sauce and grilling chicken breasts. I start out with equal parts hot sauce and barbecue sauce and add 1/4-1/2 cup of honey, a dash or 2 onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper and a few drops of liquid smoke. Simmer till thick.
Season the chicken breasts with pepper and season salt and grill, basting with the barbecue sauce as they cook. These are good just as they are, but also make a fantastic addition to a green salad. The kids like fries with everything and I have some fresh, yummy sweet corn from Daddy's garden. Shuck and silk the corn, wrap all together in aluminum foil and a 1/4 c water and grill with the chicken. If it is a hot night this keeps the kitchen cool.
The sauce works well as a dip for chicken nuggets, too.
Happy Saturday everyone!
