Thanks! Baked leg quarters at 350 for 30 minutes, finished it on the grill over indirect heat (with bottled sauce). Really not what you wanted, probably.

(Not unlike Sue's Roadhouse ribs, except that is freaking awesomely great sauce:

SAUCE:
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/4 cup minced fresh onion
1 1/2 cups water
1/2 cup tomato paste
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
1 3/4 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon liquid smoke flavoring
1 teaspoon Jim Beam whiskey
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper -- coarse
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon paprika

To make the ribs, cut each large rack of ribs in half so that you have 4 half-racks. Sprinkle a light coating of salt and a more generous portion of coarse pepper over the top and bottom of each rack. Wrap the ribs in aluminum foil and bake in a preheated 300 degree oven for 2 1/2 hours.

As the ribs cook, make the sauce by heating the oil in a medium saucepan over medium/high heat. Saute the onions for 5 minutes or until they start to brown. Add the remaining ingredients and bring mixture to a boil then reduce heat and simmer for 1 1/4 hours, uncovered, or until sauce thickens. Remove from heat and set aside until the ribs are ready. Preheat your barbecue grill.

When ribs are finished in the oven, the meat should have pull back about 1/2-inch from the cut-ends of the bones. Remove the ribs from the oven, let them sit for 10 minutes or so, then remove the racks from the foil and put them on the grill. Grill the ribs for 3 to 4 minutes per side. They should be slightly charred in a few spots when they're finished. Brush barbecue sauce on the ribs while they're grilling, just before you serve them. Don't add the sauce too early or it will burn.

Not trying to overide Rob's recipe, but equal amounts of cola and ketchup makes a great bbq sauce.

Freezer marinades for Chicken? plus recipe
Q
Comments (2)
Let me know what you think Ruthie...I just sort of came up with it while throwing things together (isn't that always the way?). Honestly, I was kind of suprised it tasted so good the first time...generally my "experiments" need a couple tries to be palatable. LOL You might need to play around with the amounts a bit... I can't use the bottled marinades - they have too much salt/spices in them, and whatever I make has to be healthy enough for the dogs too (which is good, 'cause it's healthier and cheaper to make stuff from scratch). :-)

I have a couple of suggestions..... Chicken Chili from Ina Prep Time: 15 min Inactive Prep Time: hr min Cook Time: 1 hr 45 min Level: Easy Serves: 6 servings 4 cups chopped yellow onions (3 onions) 1/8 cup good olive oil, plus extra for chicken 1/8 cup minced garlic (2 cloves) 2 red bell peppers, cored, seeded, and large-diced 2 yellow bell peppers, cored, seeded, and large-diced 1 teaspoon chili powder 1 teaspoon ground cumin 1/4 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes, or to taste 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste 2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more for chicken 2 (28-ounce) cans whole peeled plum tomatoes in puree, undrained 1/4 cup minced fresh basil leaves 4 split chicken breasts, bone in, skin on Freshly ground black pepper For serving: Chopped onions, corn chips, grated cheddar, sour cream Cook the onions in the oil over medium-low heat for 10 to 15 minutes, until translucent. Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Add the bell peppers, chili powder, cumin, red pepper flakes, cayenne, and salt. Cook for 1 minute. Crush the tomatoes by hand or in batches in a food processor fitted with a steel blade (pulse 6 to 8 times). Add to the pot with the basil. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil and place them on a baking sheet. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Roast the chicken for 35 to 40 minutes, until just cooked. Let cool slightly. Separate the meat from the bones and skin and cut it into 3/4-inch chunks. Add to the chili and simmer, uncovered, for another 20 minutes. Serve with the toppings, or refrigerate and reheat gently before serving. ****************************************************** Crockpot Chicken Tortilla Soup Place in crockpot 2 or 3 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves. You can easily skip the sour cream and cheese. Without draining anything, combine in bowl: 2 (15oz) cans black beans 1 (14.5 oz) can tomato sauce 2 (15 oz) cans Mexican stewed tomatoes (or Rotel) 1 (4 oz) can chopped green chilies 1 cup salsa, your preference as to strength Pour over chicken and cook on low 8 hours. Just before serving, remove chicken, shred it, and stir it back into the soup. Stir in: 1 can Niblets corn Heat just long enough to get corn and chicken hot. Serve topped with cheese, sour cream, and crushed tortilla chips. Or put the chips in the bowl first and ladle soup on top. Either way, YUMMY and so easy!

Your Best Dinner Party Recipes?

I have a number of favourite "dinner party" recipes. One of my favourites is Chicken Breasts Perigord. They can be prepared earlier in the day and cooked later. Chicken Breasts Perigord Source: Lucy Waverman This flavorful and elegant chicken is stuffed with a combination of fresh and dried mushrooms. Because the breasts are stuffed under the skin, the stuffing moistens the chicken meat and keeps it juicy. Use either dried porcini or dried Chinese mushrooms; they have the most flavor. The sauce can be made ahead of time and the breasts stuffed a few hours before baking. 6 Dried mushrooms 1/2 cup boiling chicken broth 2 tablespoons butter 4 shallots 8 ounce fresh mushrooms finely chopped 1 teaspoon dried tarragon or basil 3 tablespoons fresh bread crumbs 1/3 cup whipping cream 3 Tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste 6 single boned chicken breasts, with skin on. Sauce 1/2 cup chopped onions 1/4 cup dry red wine 1/2 cup mushroom-soaking liquid 3 cups chicken stock 2 tablespoons port or Madeira 1 tablespoon cornstarch 1 tablespoon cold water salt and fresh ground pepper to taste. . 1. Soak the mushrooms in boiling chicken broth for 20 minutes. Drain the mushrooms, reserving the soaking liquid and the mushrooms separately.Chop the mushrooms. 2. Preheat the oven to 375°F 3. Heat the butter in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the shallots and dried and fresh mushrooms. Saute until all the liquid has evaporated, stirring occasionally, about 4 minutes. Stir in the basil or tarragon, bread crumbs, cream and parsley. cook until the cream has reduced and the filling is thick. Season with salt and pepper. 4. Divide the filling in six portions. with your fingertips, make a pocket between the skin and the flesh of each chicken breast. Stuff the filling under the skin of the chicken breasts. Season the breasts with salt and pepper and place in a buttered baking dish large enough to hold the breasts in one layer. 5. Bake for 30 or 40 minutes, basting occasionally, until the juices run clear. 6. To make the sauce, in a frying pan, combine the onions and wine. On high heat, bring to a boil and reduce until you have 1 tablespoon of liquid. 7. Pour in the mushroom liquid, reduce to 2 tablespoons and then add the chicken stock and continue to boil until the stock is reduced by half. Add the port and simmer for another 2 minutes, or until the sauce is smooth and strongly flavoured. 8. Combine the cornstarch and cold water and stir into the sauce, simmering until the sauce thickens slightly, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and add any juices from the chicken. To serve, pour the sauce over the chicken breasts. OPTION: I also add Green Peppercorns to the sauce. I only use dried Green Peppercorns, not brined.

I grill my chicken entirely on the grill. I keep the heat very low ( most important) and lay a large piece of heavy foil over ¾ of the rack, turning the ends under on each end to keep it secure. I coat the foil heavily with olive oil and place the seasoned chicken pieces skin side down for half an hour or so ; then flip them over for another half hour or so, checking the internal temperature. B-B-Q sauce the last 10 minutes.

P.S I like Sweet Bay Ray's sauce

I also cook mine in the grill, similar to the way Elizabeth cooks hers. And I usually make my own sauce, a big batch at a time. If I don’t have any on hand or time to make it, I also use Sweet Baby Ray’s.

Ketchup and grape jelly make an interesting sauce also. Sounds weird, I know.

Rob..... thanks for the recipe. My husbands a nut for chicken and I'm a BBQ lover. I'll try it, 30 minutes in the oven @ 350...then grill it w/ sauce. Cool!

I have a hard time cooking chicken on the grill because I want to keep the skin on, which makes the flames reach higher and higher, fighting it all the while. This is what works for me, and truly, Sue's is what gave me the idea. Half and half. Maybe you can just cook it like Elizabeth and Outside cook theirs? I'm just terrible at it ;)

I can't barbecue for the life of me, and really don't enjoy it. I like baking/roasting in the oven. I'll put the sauce on and crank up the heat or under the broiler for a few minutes. I have 2 bbq sauces that I make, this might now be a third except that I don't like liquid smoke nor do I buy whiskey LOL

Rob....baking is easier and less mess.....that's better for me ! Grilling with foil is a lot to watch over and clean up. I too want to leave the skin on. It looks DELICIOUS! (it's supposed to rain & snow the next 3 days...the less time I spend outdoors is better too.....we have a covered deck...but it's freezing COLD out there)

jasdip, I just buy one of those "airline" sized and it lasts forever. I don't think leaving out liquid smoke would make it unpalatable. It's a really good sauce.

I don't use liquid smoke out of sheer paranoia. I read this quite a while ago so will link it but not sure whether it really says anything that anybody would be surprised of. Apparently Scotch whiskey imparts a smoky flavor which is a good substitute for liquid smoke without the carcinogens. I just avoid the whole thing by not using either alcohol or liquid smoke. I do all of my "grilling" in the oven. With the fans on high.

Ribs and chicken are two of my favorite things to BBQ/grill. Whether with charcoal or gas, both need a fair amount of time to cook using indirect heat, maybe 50-70% of the total cooking time. If with charcoal, you need a BBQ with a lid. Put the coals on one side only and use the other side for indirect heat. With a gas grill, same thing, heat it up and then turn off one section of burner.

You can "sear" the outside of the meat at the beginning or the end or a little of both (needed for BBQ sauce), it's the same. Then move the meat to the indirect section. I use soaked wood chips to add to the flavor.

Add sauce only at the end and then give it a quick hit to the direct side. The sugar most have will burn quickly. Use a thermometer with chicken to make sure it hits 160 degrees.

To avoid sticking, clean the grill first with a wire brush after it's very hot. Oil it just before putting the meat on, using a paper towel dipped in vegetable oil that you hold with tongs. Some fish can stick when doing this but usually nothing else will.

Another approach instead of oiling the grate is to lightly brush the raw chicken with mayonnaise. Doing so adds no flavor but its water/oil emulsion will prevent sticking. Same thing usually works with a skillet, like a cast iron one, to avoid using too much oil.

(PS - I like liquid smoke in some sauces. It's not needed if you're using bottled sauce or a sauce of your own concoction using bottled sauce as a base)
