Maggie,

I love your PaPaw and I’ve never even met him. 🙂

The chicken and BBQ sauce sound delicious! My most vivid memory of my PaPaw was his favorite lunch—light bread, butter beans and slices of raw onions with an ice cold glass of buttermilk! While I could eat biscuits all day long, I think he could eat a whole loaf of white bread every day by himself!

In reply to heyjude195430Jude. Yes, it certainly is! My father couldn't sit down to a meal without light bread.

I did Jackie! My Mother loved white light bread because they didn’t have it growing up and she considered it a treat. She said they had plain old biscuits and cornbread! And Oh My Goodness, I now consider biscuits and cornbread a treat! Life is funny.

In reply to heyjude195430Jude. Jude, Did you notice the light bread I had in the photo? I don't eat it anymore but my husband sure does.

Denise,

The secret to keeping the sauce on the chicken has more to do with cooking at high temps than the kind of sauce used. However, I love how this sauce turned out. Don’t skimp on the bacon drippings! 🙂

Love this and will make some up real soon. I have always been on the lookout for some good BBQ sauce–that would stay on the chicken. I think you started something here !

When I was growing up, we never had a grill. So oven barbequed chicken was the only “barbeque” we ate. We usually had it with “light” bread (white sandwich bread) and maybe baked beans. We loved it. I will have to make it for my Grandchildren for old times sake. Less the light bread, probably.

In reply to Harriett. I hope you love it, Harriet. I made it twice in one week. I'm whipping up a new batch of sauce today.

Mary,

Isn’t that something! You’ve just got to know how hot it hot. 🙂

I stopped making BBQ chicken in the oven because the sauce wouldn’t stay on the meat. Now, I know why and how to fix it……..you’re a gem!!!! Thanks for making it possible to have BBQ chicken in the oven again!

In reply to Sandra Davis. I hope it works out for you and your sweet family, Sandra. I had enough sauce for two batches of chicken so we had it twice in one week.

Jackie
I have the sauce made and in my frig marrying up. I can’t wait to fix it when I get home!
I was wondering what I would have for dinner tonight until I read your email this morning with this beautiful recipe.
I can’t wait for dinner , I’m having fettuccine Alfredo with it. Everyone should eat it up with no leftovers!!

In reply to Jean.

Jean,

I can’t relate to anything being too sweet but not everyone has my taste buds. I can tolerate some spiciness now. For the longest, I didn’t like any heat at all in my food. I think that has to do with the fact that your taste buds dull as you age.

Hi Jackie…I guess that does make sense! I don’t remember either of my Grandmothers giving me cooking advice. You are lucky to have had such a grandmother. I don’t think that either of mine were fabulous cooks and both were different in the foods they served and the way they cooked it. It seemed that we ate it up tho! BBQ sauce is never too sweet nor too hot unless you drop the entire box of red pepper in it!
