Sweet and Tangy Barbeque Sauce

Chicken is a staple protein in our family, so I’m always looking for a new and exciting way to make it.  This is a sauce I’ve used on pork tenderloin and thought it might be good on chicken too.  I was right.  Great flavor with a tangy, sweet taste that will make your family or guests ask…”What is in your sauce?  It tastes so good.”

Sweet and Tangy Barbeque Sauce

• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup ketchup
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Let meat marinate in sauce for at least 1 hour or longer if you can (up to 24 hours).  The longer you marinate it, the better.  Heat the grill.  Cook meat until desired doneness.  Make sure to reserve some sauce for basting while on the grill.

Note: I love this on both chicken and pork.  Try both and let me know which you like best. 🙂

UPDATE 7/4/11 – I used this on pork baby back ribs and it was utterly amazing!
