While eating our traditional Fourth of July dinner last Saturday I asked my sister what she liked better: Fourth of July food or Thanksgiving food. With her mouth full of potato salad she enthusiastically pointed at her plate. I was in the minority at the table because I picked Thanksgiving food. It wasn't an easy decision to make though. Especially when there was platter of grilled chicken made with my favorite bbq sauce right in front of me.
My dad has absolutely no sweet tooth so this was the sauce that I grew up on. No ketchup or brown sugar here. It's a thin, tangy sauce that requires small cupfuls placed on the table for extra dipping. I hope you love it as much as I do!
BBQ Sauce
3 sticks butter
8 cups water
1 quart apple cider vinegar
2 TBS Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup salt
1/2 TBS black pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder
Heat through until butter is melted. Set some aside for dipping and use the rest as a marinade for chicken.
P.S. Remind me at Thanksgiving, when my sister is enjoying buttered rolls, sweet potatoes, and pumpkin pie, what her favorite food holiday is!

ReplyDeleteI'm still voting for 4th of July food!
Fourth of July food is my favorite "summer" food and Thanksgiving is my favorite "winter" food. It's all about the outside temperature!

ReplyDeleteI'll take both holidays, please. I am a pig.

I'm with you on the Thanksgiving food. There's something about the spirit of that holiday that makes that meal THE BEST! Good comfort food, I guess, haha.
ReplyDeleteSounds yummy! I have never made BBQ sauce. Thanksgiving food is definitely my favorite. I hardly ever get turkey.
ReplyDeleteI confess, I love Thanksgiving food better, if for no other reason, my mom's incredible chestnut stuffing!

ReplyDeleteThat is so funny! I think I'm a Thanksgiving food person. Most of the people I know eat practically the same thing for both holidays (minus the ribs LOL). Now I'm hungry all over again LOL.
ReplyDeleteThanks for swinging by my blog today! I will be trying this recipe! And I also hope you tackle your corner...! :) It will make you feel so much better!
ReplyDeletewhile I do like some BBQ sauces that are slightly sweet, this one sounds delish! I love salty stuff even more though. So you had me at vinegar, worcestershire sauce and garlic powder. Um, yum!
