Roadside Chicken

Roadside Chicken is all about the marinade, and the hot & nasty char ~ kinda like an American version of Jamaican Jerk Chicken ... without the scotch bonnets, eh? Although it's considered bad form to serve any kind of sauce on this chicken, I make a sauce called *Golden Embers* sauce that is very good with this chicken ~ the Alabama White BBQ Sauce is also good with this chicken. But before you pour any sauce on it, just try a piece with nothing but a lil' fresh squeezed lemon juice & see what you think.

Mais, since posting this original recipe above for Golden Embers BBQ Sauce a couple hours ago ... I made a batch, and made a couple of mods to accomondate the ingredients I had on hand ... and I really like it. This is a good example of why I don't like to post many recipes on this blog ... because in my kitchen, recipes are ALWAYS in a state of flux. I'm constantly tweaking them & pushing the envelope. In this case, the results were very good: I used country-style grey poupon mustard, used smoked paprika, sliced the garlic thin instead of halves & omitted the catsup and tabasco altogether...used 1/4 cup Dirty Dick's instead.
