Jo Mama's Hot and Spicy Grilled Chicken

The sauce for this chicken has such an explosion of flavors--you'll want to lick the plate when you are done. It's sweet, sour, spicy and savory--and it has a bit of a kick. You will end up with nearly 3 cups of sauce, but trust me--you will want all of it.

• Ready In: 35 mins
• Serves: 6

Ingredients

• 2 1⁄2 cups water
• 2  tablespoons brown sugar
• 2  tablespoons  oil
• 1⁄4 cup vinegar
• 2 1⁄2 teaspoons salt
• 1⁄4 cup  chopped onions or 2  tablespoons onion powder
• 2 1⁄2 teaspoons black pepper
• 2  teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1  teaspoon dry mustard
• 2  teaspoons chili powder
• 1⁄2 teaspoon  hot pepper sauce
• 1⁄2 teaspoon  red pepper
• 1  garlic cloves or 1  tablespoon garlic powder
• 2 -3  lbs chicken parts (with skin or without skin, it is up to you)

Directions

1. Combine all ingredients except for the chicken and bring to a rolling boil. Remove from the heat and cool. Refrigerate sauce overnight to blend flavors.
2. Heat a grill to medium-high heat.
3. Apply sauce to chicken (I spoon it on). Grill to desired doneness, applying sauce liberally as you turn chicken. Cook until done through.
4. If you don't contaminate the sauce with the raw chicken, you can serve it with the cooked chicken. If it gets contaminated, simmer it on the stove for a few minutes.
