My husband's cousin Mark, always made this when we got together and grilled BBQ chicken. It's wonderful for chicken on the grill. Just keep basting with this until it's done. Mark is no longer with us but we think about him each time we use his recipe.

Mark's BBQ Sauce

stick of butter
1 cup vinegar
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 cup oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/3 teaspoon red pepper (more if you like it hotter)
1 teaspoon salt
3 teaspoons worshestier sauce (sorry can't spell and neither could he)

Heat all together until butter melts and is hot through. Brush on chicken and grill, brushing often.

sounds tasty...still grilling in NC?

Actually it's cold here now but supposed to warm up again this week, David. My nephew grills and uses his smoker year round.

We love barbecue. BTW - It's worcestershire. Try saying it 3 times, fast!!! And a stick of butter. That's an ingredient I've never put in BBQ sauce. Thanks for the interesting recipe.

I'm a tomato-based bbq person but I like to try things so thanks for this recipe.

Marianna, thanks for the Worcestershire spelling. If I wasn't lazy I'd have gone into the kitchen and looked at the bottle. I tried gettting a spelling from the computer but they were as bad as me. Guess Mark was a Paula Deen wanna be. LOL

Donna, it's good on chicken and pork.

Dan, come on over, supposed to be warmer here in NC in the next few days. Maybe we'll fire up the grill.

Thanks Joan, I'm not to much of a griller but the recipe sounds great, could I just use it if I was cooking in my oven?

Looks good! And it's worchestershire sauce, isn't it? Or is it worcestershire?
Joan O. Nov 26, 2007, 8:22pm EST
Yes Carolyn it would work in the oven. You could broil the chicken and baste it with the sauce.
Katrina, that's a hard word isn't it? LOL

homemade sauce is so much better than store bought.
thanks for this one.
carolyn b. Nov 28, 2007, 10:04am EST
I agree Becky, I make homemade sauce all the time, I have a few of them. I might buy store bought sauce when I'm lazy and don't feel like making any but that's rare.

Thanks Joan.

Sounds excellent! I love bbq made from scratch.
Jaye S. Nov 30, 2007, 5:29am EST
I'm going to try this when it is grilling time! I've always wanted to make a home made sauce.
