Spring time is on and so is BBQ season! Here is my special secret recipe for my spicy-sweet BBQ sauce that will make you lick your fingers twice…

NICI’S HONEY-WHISKEY BBQ SAUCE (FOR BBQ CHICKEN OR RIBS)

2 Tbsp olive oil

1 small onion, very finely chopped

1 garlic clove, crushed

2 Tbsp honey

10 Tbsp ketchup

1 Tbsp apple vinegar

1 Tbsp Worchester sauce or soy sauce

¼ Tsp cumin

¼ Tsp cayenne

(optional: ¼ Tsp liquid smoke)

1Tsp Whiskey

For BBQ CHICKEN:

1 chicken in pieces

In a sauce pan heat olive oil and cook onion until soft but not browned. Add all ingredients and cook for 5 minutes until thickened. Use right away or store in jar glass for a few weeks.

For BBQ chicken:

Marinate chicken pieces in refrigerator for at least 1 hour. Place on BBQ for 30-45 minutes over medium heat or bake on baking paper lined baking pan at 180 °C for 30-45 minutes turning chicken parts every 15 minutes.
Serve on sweet potatoes and asparagus which you add to the oven 20 minutes before the end.
