CHICKEN WITH JESSE'S LIP SMACKING SAUCE
Steps:
- Place the garlic in cup of boiling water for 3 minutes. Remove and chop fine. Saute the onions in the olive oil over medium-high heat for 5 minutes, until just starting to brown. Remove from the heat and wait 1 minute for the pan to start to cool. Add the chopped garlic, stir, and place mixture in a bowl to cool - never let the garlic hit the hot oil over the fire - this way the garlic will infuse the remaining moisture and not burn and get bitter.
- In a large stock pot over medium-low heat add the catsup and bring to a slow simmer, always stirring. After 10 minutes add the onions, garlic, soy sauce, liquid smoke, Worcestershire sauce, yellow mustard, pickapeppa sauce, and wine vinegar, and let simmer for another 10 minutes, covered.
- Cut all the fruit into quarters and squeeze the juice into the pot. Then, add the fruit to the pot, with the brown sugar, horseradish, and Dr. Pepper. Continue to simmer for at least 40 minutes, covered.
- Add the dried chile peppers and cayenne, turn off heat and let the chiles go to work for about another 20 minutes.
- Chicken:
- Add all items to a very large pot of boiling water. Reduce heat, cover with a plate and simmer for 1 hour. Remove from the pot and let cool to room temperature, covered.
- Your grill should be very hot. We use a smoke box with wet wood chips in the gas grill to add a nice wood flavor (optional). Lightly spray the grill with nonstick spray. Add the chicken and get nice grill marks on both sides. The bbq sauce should be in a large pot that has just been removed from the heat.
- Very important: Just paint the chicken lightly with the sauce and let it stay on the grill for 1 minute on each side, just to burn the sauce. Remove from the grill and submerge in the hot bbq sauce for a just a second. Put on platter and serve with very sour dough bread and vinegar and oil based cole slaw, cold beer and look out.

Tips:
- For a crispy coating, make sure the chicken is dry before breading.
- Use a shallow dish for dredging the chicken in the egg mixture and breadcrumb mixture.
- Gently press the breadcrumb mixture onto the chicken to ensure it adheres well.
- Heat the oil to the correct temperature before frying the chicken. If the oil is too hot, the chicken will brown too quickly and not cook through. If the oil is not hot enough, the chicken will absorb too much oil and become greasy.
- Fry the chicken in batches to prevent overcrowding the pan and ensure even cooking.
- Drain the chicken on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Serve the chicken hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
