Now I know this isn’t exactly a main dish, but it’s great for grilling, with it being Memorial Day and all. This sauce is a nice way to spiffy up some burgers or chicken. It’s perfect for either charcoal or propane grills, but I prefer charcoal because it adds a nice flavor to the meat by itself.
For both burgers and chicken, grill them like normal (about 5-8 minutes per side, or until done) but baste the meat with some sauce for the last 5 minutes or so that they’re grilling. This will help lock in the good, smoky flavor in the meat. Reserve the rest of the sauce to be used as a topping.
Happy Memorial Day! Eat some good food and enjoy this lovely weather.
