My husband is working on perfecting his barbecue chicken. I have to say this version was delicious. He cooked the chicken on a grill rotisserie stuffed with oranges and jalapenos. It was moist and tender and the sauce cooked on the stove top was wonderful. My daughter even said she could eat the sauce right by itself. I served it with this Asian Coleslaw, which to me was a perfect match because I just love barbecue flavors paired with something containing sesame oil. But, it would be just as good with more traditional barbecue sides.

Here is the chicken cooking on the rotisserie. As you can see, a little of the jalapeno-orange mixture fell out.

That looks delish!!! I’ve never made my own bbq sauce before!! I wouldn’t have known what was even in it! LOL Thanks for sharing with Foodie Friends Friday! 🙂
What is Maggie liquid seasoning? Sounds great will try.
Here is a link to Maggie on Amazon. Most grocery stores around here (Georgia) carry it. It is usually with condiments or international foods.
