1/2 cup root beer
1/2 cup ketchup
3 tablespoons cider vinegar

I found the sauce to be a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using a different type of barbecue sauce.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the sauce was delicious. I would recommend cooking the chicken for a shorter amount of time.
