sauce for chicken

[PopcornSutton]

Ketchup is the staple for beef, bbq works for many. But if you cooking some thighs one night, what would be your go to for chicken? Mustard works with dogs and burgers

So what works with chicken?

[Winger Ed.]

I use the stuff labeled for chicken from brands like 'Bullseye' or 'Stubbs'.
Or sometimes make our own with the normal seasonings like garlic, pepper, etc,
and add them to tomato sauce, brown sugar, and honey.
It tastes like the ketchup based sauces, but without the 'wang' from vinegar.

Marinate in wine vinegar, olive oil, garlic and oregano then grill.

[Minerat]

Marinate in hoisin sauce for an hour then grill or bake.

Thighs in a cast iron in the oven. Lemon pepper, thyme, and maybe 2/3 covered with chicken stock. Cook until almost falling apart, about 1 hr. depending on size of thighs. BEST THING EVER!

Wildwoods Jamaican jerk.

Outpost has a very good suggestion. A little vinegar ads a little acid calmed by olive oil (2xas much oil as vinegar) Salt generously and grill at medium heat. I like the garlic but not big on oregano. The oil and salt make the skin very crispy.

Jamaican jerk and some extra spices is good. Grill or oven

[imashooter2]

Lime juice, olive oil and a touch of garlic. Marinate 3-4 hours in the refrigerator. Grill or broil.

Or

Bone and cut in chunks. Caramelize in a stainless pot. Add a 16 ounce can of diced tomatoes and and an 8 ounce can of tomato sauce, deglazing the pan. Add minced garlic, salt, pepper, lots of paprika. Simmer covered about 45 minutes. Add a healthy swirl of olive oil to get the sauce nice and silky. Serve over white rice.

Maybe I should have written a "condiment" for chicken. I marinate and/or season when cooking, I was thinking about some add on after the cooking.

BBQ sauce goes on my chicken thighs a few minutes before they are taken from the grill.
Slather with BBQ sauce after they are done if you prefer.

Thyme is good on chicken if you don't care for the oregano. I let people add their own salt, as I must watch sodium content. Do agree that salt helps In crisping the skin.

There’s always the Buffalo wing sauce using Frank’s Hot Sauce.

[Bulldogger]

Heinz 57

G Hughes sugar free Orange Ginger marinade. I've used it as last few minutes coating on grill and to dip cooked chicken in. Also good on shrimp and pork.

Alabama White Sauce ... aka White BBQ Sauce ... made famous by Big Bob Gibson BBQ in Decatur , Alabama .
Perfect on grilled or smoked chicken ...dip the chicken in or brush it on the cooked chicken .

1 cup Mayo
1/4 cup Apple Cider Vinegar
2 Tablespoons Brown Sugar
1 Tablespoon Brown Mustard ( or yellow )
1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Optional - 1 teaspoon prepared horseradish ... my wife says it's not optional .

Mix everything together and let stand in ref'g for an hour ... overnight is better .
Place in a clean glass jar with a lid .
This stuff is a winner on grilled chicken !

I've been known to marinate in Good Seasons Italian dressing. I also add an additional onion and garlic to it. Put it all in a blender and let it go until it's completely blended. It'll turn into a creamy dressing. Marinate for 24 hours. Then BBQ using indirect heat or grill using a small fire. Slather periodically with the marinade to build up a coating. Pretty good eats.

There are 2 BBQ sauces I use at the table.

Beals Wild Boar Soul BBQ sauce: http://shavenook.com/showthread.php?tid=34385

The other I make myself. I could give you the recipe but then I'd have to kill you and neither of us want that. It's red, tart, and not too sweet. In the past I sold it locally. I've had people tell me that they put it on everything.

Heinz 57 steak sauce and mustard is good on chicken. Brush it on towards the end of cooking

50/50 Miracle Whip(do NOT sub mayo)/ketchup with franks hot sauce added to taste, baste chicken with this 20 minutes before it is done. 3-4 thin coats are better than a thick glob it on.

I season with BBQ rub, bake at 400(or hot smoke at 375 in the Traeger), in the last 5-15 minutes brush with sauce twice(15 minutes gets that caramelized sugar thing going). I use Smokin' Guns Mild (it has heat!) rub and their BBQ sauce a lot for this.

Good chicken thighs should require no condiments. Dry over cooked ones should be reserved to boning and serving over potatoes in chicken gravy.

[Lloyd Smale]

mine gets either just seasoned salt or barbeque sauce on the grill. Seasoned salt in the over or fry magic if im frying it. Chicken without skin? Thats like a bourbon and water with no bourbon.
