Root Beer Barbecued Chicken Recipe

I doubled the sauce recipe for about 6 pounds of chicken parts plus had enough left over sauce to pass around the table if desired.

I altered the above barbecue sauce/chicken recipe slightly from a Bon Appetit magazine article. I did not marinade or smoke the chicken but grilled parts on low heat - brushing the chicken pieces liberally as I turned them. It takes about 1 hour and 15 minutes to cook done on a low heat gas grill. Watch carefully to prevent over charring of chicken parts.

For sauce: Combine all Ingredients in a saucepan bring to a rolling boil over medium heat and reduce heat and simmer until reduced to 1 1/2 cups. Season with salt and pepper. Cool, cover and store refrigerated until use ( up to two weeks).

I made the barbecued chicken for my daughter's 21 birthday! Everyone loved it -no one guessed root beer was in the sauce.
