My grown children still beg for my chicken. They like the savory barbecue sauce so much, they've been known to hover over me, trying to snitch a spoonful behind my back. —Patricia Parker, Connelly Springs, North Carolina

I've been meaning to try this recipe for the last few months ever since I saw it in the magazine. I'm glad that tonight I was finally able to. I was the only person in my family willing to use this sauce since it said "spicy" in the title, but that's ok because it means more for me. The level of heat was much lower than I expected (more like a tickle than a burn). The sauce is also sweeter than most BBQ sauces I'd find where I live (Texas) but that made it a nice change of pace for use on chicken. It's probably a 4.5 star out of 5, but I didn't want to just call it "good" when it was "really good". I'm going to use this sauce as my base and add some more spice and some smoked paprika to give it a little hint of smoke. Hopefully with those small adjustments it'll be a perfect sauce for my tastes.

If you're looking for a good BBQ chicken recipe, give this one a shot. Just add some cayenne in there if you really like spicy food and use less sugar if you're not big on sweet sauces.
