Carolina Que Sauce

Unknown
edited November -1 in EggHead Forum
I just posted the info on the Carolina Que sauce as follow up to that message a couple days ago. I would like to add though that: I find many people without meaning to, go out of their way to make things harder than they really should be (I'm the worst at it). This sauce is not the best sauce for chicken and unless you are cooking for a huge crowd neither is whole / half chickens , I buy thighs and breast and use the following paste on them the night before eggin em. Toast a whole bag of guajillo dried peppers on a dry griddle along with a bunch of garlic, have some water boiling and when the chilis are toasted turn off the water and drop them in and put something on top of em to hold em down for about 30 min. put em in blender with garlic and salt and make paste using some of the water from pan. slop this on the chicken and let set overnight , then put em in egg. I try and leave em so I can take off and put em in foil pouch for a while before serving. I did this at a big reunion and some of the Ladies started taking covers off everybodies stuff and when that got to mine (it was still hot) and opened the foil just a little bit , they all went crazy over it and everyone wanted to know about it.

    CHET,
    If you are referring to Carolina Treat, I offer the opinion that while it is not a great sauce for basting chicken, I use it to marinate chicken for a few hours and then at the end of the grilling, baste the chicken with a traditional sweet/hot Q-sauce. The two together work great.
