This week's chicken with mango barbecue sauce was chosen by Aggie of Aggie's Kitchen. I was super excited about this recipe because I love barbecue sauce and I was so excited to make my own! This sauce was very different than I imagined it would be at the outset but it was really good. The sauce was much thicker than I thought it would be. I substituted a green pepper for the red pepper and I used about a tablespoon of tomato paste and a splash of water in place of the tomato sauce. Otherwise, I pretty much stuck to the recipe. Maybe the changes resulted in a very thick sauce? I cant wait to see how everyone's sauce turned out!
I baked my chicken instead of grilling it. I was too tired to tackle cleaning the grill pan after cooking the chicken so I opted for the easy way. I baked the chicken in a covered dish for about 40 minutes and then finished it off under the broiler! It was excellent! The cats loved it!
Plus, I am using the extra barbecue sauce today to make barbecue pork. I left the pork and sauce cooking in the crock pot today. I can't wait to get home and see how it turned out!
Aggie, thanks for picking a fabulous recipe this week!
Looks great! My sauce was also really thick. I am interested to see how the pork turns out, sounds like it will be delicious.
ReplyDeleteOooh -- I can't wait to hear about your barbecued pork; that sounds fantastic. We LOVED this dish as well. I think I am going to make it a lot this summer! Yours looks great!
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of using the leftover sauce for some pork!! My sauce was thick too, but I really loved it. I think this was one of the best recipes so far in this group.
ReplyDeleteOK, using the leftover sauce to make barbecued port with is such a good idea! I bet it will be fantastic. My sauce was thick too but I liked it that way. What a good idea to sub tomato paste and a little water for the sauce. I have 3/4 of a can of tomato sauce leftover from this.
ReplyDeleteDid you use the jalapenos? If so, how are your cat's tummy's?
ReplyDeleteWe loved it too and I contemplated baking but decided the stove top grill would take less time. The mess however did not. Oh well. It was worth it.
I simply cooked my chicken, the leftover sauce will go into the freezer for next time!
ReplyDeleteYes! BBQ pork - I think the sauce would be excellent for that.
ReplyDeleteYou tell me how it comes out, before I run out and buy a loin, OK? :)

Looks delicious! I actually did this one under the broiler and that is it.
ReplyDeleteMy sauce was thick too.
Glad you loved it.
We liked this one, too! You're so nice to share with your kitties (don't tell mine or I'll have to share with her!)
ReplyDeleteI'm anxious to know how the leftover sauce worked in the crockpot for you. What a fabulous idea!! Well done!
