Barbecue Chicken Marinaide

Tuesday, July 20, 2010

The other night I wanted BBQ chicken, but didn't want the gallons of sugar found in a traditional sauce. I needed something quick, so I decided to try a Carolina-style sauce as a marinade. It's very thin, so it soaked right into the meat and gave it a nice, tangy flavor. Even the kids liked it! Whoop!
I paired it with some Orida sweet potato fries that I had in the freezer. Although potatoes aren't the best thing in the world nutritionally, sweet potatoes trump the white variety because they don't spike blood sugar as strongly, and are an excellent source of beta carotene. Plus, they're just plain yummy!

Carolina -Style Barbeque Sauce:

1/2 C. apple cider viegar
3 tablespoons organic ketchup (The Muir-Glen brand is delicious)
1 t. brown sugar
1/4 t. salt, or to taste
1/8 t. crushed dried chili if desired
I added a few dashes of liquid smoke as well

Mis together, pour over chicken, and marinaide for as least 4 hours.
