SIMPLE BARBECUE SAUCE



Simple Barbecue Sauce image

Smoked paprika is the secret weapon in this simple barbecue sauce, which goes beautifully with pork and chicken. If you're painting the sauce onto cooking meat, thin it out with water to about a one-to-one ratio, which will keep the sugars from burning too quickly over the fire. Serve the full-strength stuff alongside the finished meat.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pecans. For the best flavor, use fresh, plump pecans. Avoid pecans that are dry or shriveled.
  • Toast the pecans. Toasting the pecans brings out their nutty flavor and makes them more fragrant. You can toast them in a skillet over medium heat or in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5-7 minutes.
  • Use a good quality barbecue sauce. The barbecue sauce is the key to this recipe, so make sure you use one that you like. You can use a store-bought barbecue sauce or make your own.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken breasts can dry out quickly, so be careful not to overcook them. Cook them until they are just cooked through, about 7-8 minutes per side.
  • Let the sauce thicken. After you add the pecans and chicken to the sauce, let it simmer for a few minutes to allow the sauce to thicken. This will help the sauce to coat the chicken and pecans evenly.

Conclusion:

Pecan barbecue sauce is a delicious and easy way to add flavor to your next chicken dish. It's perfect for grilled, roasted, or fried chicken. The pecans add a nutty flavor and texture that complements the smoky flavor of the barbecue sauce. This recipe is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
