I made this last night. It was delicious. Although. Even though I do tend to love things with a spicy hot bite... This was just a tad over the top. I will make this again but cut the cayenne back to a half of a teaspoon, VErrry delicious any way even being too hot.

Easy recipe to put together. Had some "bite" to it with the cayenne. I would leave the sugar out of the basting sauce next time, though. Didn't care for the sweet edge. Cooked mine indoors on the Foreman Grill, but will try again during the outdoor grilling season. Made for Fall 2009 My 3 Chefs game.
