    List of Ingredients




    Barbequed Chicken

    1 cup root beer
    1 cup ketsup
    1/4 cup each fresh lemon and orange juice
    3 Tbs. Worcestershire sauce
    1 1/2 Tbs. dark brown sugar ( I used more to taste )
    1 Tbs. light molasses ( I used the dark blackstrap kind )
    1 tsp liquid smoke
    1/2 tsp each: ground ginger, garlic powder, onion powder ( I used fresh minced garlic instead of the powdered )
    1/2 tsp grated lemon peel. ( I omitted )

    Recipe



    Chicken parts seasoned well with your favorite barbecue rub ( remove excess skin & fat )

    I doubled the sauce recipe for about 6 pounds of chicken parts plus had enough left over sauce to pass around the table if desired.

    I altered the above barbecue sauce/chicken recipe slightly from a Bon Appetit magazine article. I did not marinade or smoke the chicken but grilled parts on low heat - brushing the chicken pieces liberally as I turned them. It takes about 1 hour and 15 minutes to cook done on a low heat gas grill. Watch carefully to prevent over charring of chicken parts.

    For sauce: Combine all Ingredients in a saucepan bring to a rolling boil over medium heat and reduce heat and simmer until reduced to 1 1/2 cups. Season with salt and pepper. Cool, cover and store refrigerated until use ( up to two weeks ).

    I made the barbecued chicken for my daughter's 21 birthday! Everyone loved it -no one guessed root beer was in the sauce.
