Dragged my butt in here yesterday after work, just hungry, right! Really, too starved and impatient to cook. But, I had some chicken brinding, okay, two days now, so I had to cook it! You can imagine how many fast foods I could have stopped at to get me some BBQ chicken. You remember Holly Farms Chicken? Well, back in the day, that was my favorite BBQ chicken; I think the sauce, really. But, well, now, I'll tell you, none will ever be as good as making your own, with all the flavor accents you prefer. I mean, look at it! #ThingsThatMakeYouGoOom

BBQ Chicken Spiced with Home-Made Hot Sauce

Too tired to be creative, I decided to keep it simple, just bake it in the oven. Then, I remembered over the weekend, I'd made my own Hot Sauce (from fresh hot peppers - Jalapeno, Serrano & Pablano roasted in the oven) and OMG! Truly, too hot for me, but a teaspoon was perfect in my BBQ sauce. So, I threw together some BBQ sauce staples - Ketchup, a little Mustard, Apple Cider Vinegar, Honey, Grannie's Garlic Butter, Worcestershire, my favorite spices, etc., and then, that teaspoon of my home-made Hot Sauce, reapplied a few times during baking, then a quick sear under the broiler. OMG! It was so good, that I took these pictures AFTER I finished greaze'n on that bone!
