I have been on the hunt for some type of BBQ sauce that I can put on chicken that leaves the THICK and STICKY type sauce when chicken is done cooking.

i have tried sauces and brown sugar in hopes of a thick/sticky texture but i am failing. The flavor is there and the sauce remains but its not to the right texture I am hoping for.

Does anyone have a recipe they can pass on or maybe some advice to help me get the REAL "BBQ" flavor/texture

Making your own, correct?

If so and you want it real thick, I would just dashes of cornstarch until you get it thick as you want it. apply to chicken in the last couple of minutes and shut off heat and let them sit in there for 5 minutes or so to adhear.

[crankbait2009]

does the cornstarch add flavor or just texture?

[deaknh03]

texture, it thickens whatever you put it in.

Lightly! Stir in small amounts with your whisk until it gets to where you want it.

so what would happen if you put the thick mixture on the chicken and let it cook the whole time? rather than only doing it close\ to it being finished?

It will burn.

If you add ketchup to the sauce you are already using, it will help add that sticky mess to what you are cooking.

really might be what you are looking form, it is what the top competition BBQ pit guys use here in Cleveland area, it is their 'trick' i was told.

Yes, as they stated it will burn.

You should make two batches in seperate bowls. One regular sauce for injecting prior to/brushing on the chicken as it cooks. - raw chicken, so dont make your thick sauce with this one as it really will not cook down.

In the seperate bowl make your thick sauce- it would be best to add the cornstarch in it with room temperature ingredients, and as stated in small amounts. Then, just add that sauce to the chicken for the last couple of minutes and you will be set.

ok, i will give this a shot this weekend and see what happens......

thank you all

If we're going to compare brands, here is my choice.

I will add a little catsup, mustard, and brown sugar at times. Bring the mixture to a boil and then reduce heat to let it cook down to the desired thickness.

[Hyrule Bass]

also another way, instead of brushing the sauce on, you could dip the chicken in it, then put the chicken right back on the grill

mmmmmmm , BBQ.

anyone have some simple sauce recipes they wouldnt mind sharing?
