I came across Carla Hall’s BBQ Chicken recipe on The Chew’s website while I was searching for chicken dishes as I had some chicken thighs that needed to be made right away, put in the freezer or thrown out. The comments on the page said there were a few missing ingredients that were on the show, so I watched the video from that day, and Carla mentioned a few of them that weren’t listed. I decided to give it a try with the addition of those ingredients, in the amounts I thought suitable, and it turned out amazing! I absolutely love this sauce!
Ingredients
Jerk Chicken Rub:
- 2 tbsp. paprika
- 1 tbsp. cayenne pepper
- ½ tbsp. onion powder
- ½ tbsp. garlic powder
- ½ tsp. dried oregano
- ½ tsp. dried thyme
- ½ tsp. cinnamon
- ½ tsp. coriander
- ½ tsp. ground cloves
- ½ tsp. ginger
- ½ tsp. salt
Sauce:
- 1 cup ketchup
- 1/4 cup white vinegar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tbsp. Worcestershire
- 2 tbsp. lemon Juice
- 1 tsp. Jerk Chicken Rub
Directions
- Mix all ingredients together for the chicken rub in a small bowl.
- Mix all barbecue sauce ingredients (which includes 1 teaspoon jerk chicken rub made above) in a small pot and simmer over a low heat for 15 – 20 minutes. Adjust salt, if necessary.
I cooked my three chicken thighs (seasoned with salt & pepper) in a little extra virgin olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat for about 6 minutes on each side, then transferred to a 350F oven for approximately another 10 minutes. Once cooked through, I removed from the oven & brushed the pieces with the barbecue sauce.
