Ingredients
- 5 cloves garlic, peeled
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 (#10 size) can catsup
- 1 large Vidala onion fine chopped
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon liquid smoke
- 2 tablespoons Worchestshire sauce
- 3 tablespoons yellow mustard
- 1 (5-ounce) bottle pickapeppa sauce (This contains: mangos, raisins, tamarinds, salt and pepper, tomatoes)
- 2 tablespoons wine vinegar
- 2 large juice oranges
- 1 large lime
- 2 lemons
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons grated horseradish
- 1 can cola, (recommended Dr. Pepper
- Few dried chiles, to taste
- 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper, to taste
Chicken:
- 3 whole chickens, halved
- 1 cup poultry seasoning
- 1 large onion
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 can beer
- 1 stick butter
- 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
Directions
Place the garlic in cup of boiling water for 3 minutes. Remove and chop fine. Saute the onions in the olive oil over medium-high heat for 5 minutes, until just starting to brown. Remove from the heat and wait 1 minute for the pan to start to cool. Add the chopped garlic, stir, and place mixture in a bowl to cool - never let the garlic hit the hot oil over the fire - this way the garlic will infuse the remaining moisture and not burn and get bitter.
In a large stock pot over medium-low heat add the catsup and bring to a slow simmer, always stirring. After 10 minutes add the onions, garlic, soy sauce, liquid smoke, Worcestershire sauce, yellow mustard, pickapeppa sauce, and wine vinegar, and let simmer for another 10 minutes, covered.
Cut all the fruit into quarters and squeeze the juice into the pot. Then, add the fruit to the pot, with the brown sugar, horseradish, and Dr. Pepper. Continue to simmer for at least 40 minutes, covered.
Add the dried chile peppers and cayenne, turn off heat and let the chiles go to work for about another 20 minutes.
Chicken:
Add all items to a very large pot of boiling water. Reduce heat, cover with a plate and simmer for 1 hour. Remove from the pot and let cool to room temperature, covered.
Your grill should be very hot. We use a smoke box with wet wood chips in the gas grill to add a nice wood flavor (optional). Lightly spray the grill with non stick spray. Add the chicken and get nice grill marks on both sides. The bbq sauce should be in a large pot that has just been removed from the heat.
Very important: Just paint the chicken lightly with the sauce and let it stay on the grill for 1 minute on each side, just to burn the sauce. Remove from the grill and submerge in the hot bbq suce for a just a second. Put on platter and serve with very sour dough bread and vinegar and oil based cole slaw, cold beer and look out.

This recipe caught my eye several years ago when the contest results were shown on TV. We've used it with chicken (as in Jessie's full recipe, several other grilled chicken recipes - - - and I won't even to into spareribs, babybacks, briskett, and the ultimate pulled pork BBQ. I've shared this recipe with numerous people, and it gets rave reviews. One recipe batch will get me thru the entire summer BBQ season with smiles all around! Thank you David & Paul!

Finally a sauce that's more than sugar and corn syrup. The sweetness from the fruit is excellent, with just a little kick from the Dr Pepper. I save the last 2 cups to use as a base for my next batch (like a sourdough starter. Perfect with blackened chicken.
