Barbeque Chicken

It's BBQ time!

There are thousands of variations for this recipe, both the sauce and the food itself. A friend of mine showed me this particular one.

Ingredients:

The sauce:

  • 2 cups of tomato paste (sweet tooth can start from ketchup)
  • 1/2 cup of water
  • 1/3 cup of apple cider vinegar
  • 1/3 cup of brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons of mustard
  • 1 tablespoon of mashed garlic
  • 1 tablespoon of mashed onion
  • 1/2 tablespoon of cayenne (those who have the balls for it can use good, hot hungarian paprika spice. Only at your own risk.)
The rest : )

  • Meat! Currently chicken. Legs, wings, breast... whatever you like.
  • Whatever you need for the side dish. For me: potatoes, salt, pepper, milk, butter.
Directions:

First: if you don't feel like tardy, start a day earlier. Take everything for the sauce, and mix it. Heat it for 20 minutes on slow fire, then let it cool down. Put it in some well-sealed container (like a sour cream mini-bucket) and put it in the fridge for a day (the taste comes out better if we let it ripen for a bit). Rub the chicken wit salt and a bit of pepper and leave it for half an hour, then coat it with the sauce (thickly) and put it into a tray. Close it with foil or a lid, then put it into the oven on 200°C for about an hour. After that, take off the lid, and grill the chicken parts' both sides until they're red-golden. If you feel they're too dry, you can pour some of the leftover sauce on them before serving.
Side dish: as per preference. For me, it's mashed potatoes. Peel and cook the potatoes in salty water, Infer it, then put some milk and butter in, and mash them. Seasone it with salt and pepper, and a bit of nutmeg if you like.
