Instant coffee is the "secret" ingredient in this sweet and spicy sauce. Don't be surprised when folks tell you this is the best chicken they've ever had!

This has become our favorite barbeque sauce. It's so simple! Because it's not cooked, you don't even have to think ahead. Not only is it great on chicken, but it's also yummy on beef and pork. It freezes just fine to use another day.

I think I am missing something? Is the chicken to be marinated in the sauce? I would think it needs to absorb the sauce to be flavorful.
