Angostura Bitters BBQ Chicken 2-10-15

Hey people! It's been a minute since I posted a recipe. Here is a great one for you! Playing around in the kitchen, (this is when genius usually strikes) I came up with this awesome BBQ. It can be used on chicken, pork, or fish (be careful with the first step on fish though, the acid in the marinade can overcook the fish before you actually put it on the stove). The combination of the lemon garlic marinade and Angostura Bitters BBQ sauce is a match made in culinary heaven.

First step, the marinade.
Olive oil (about 1/2 cup)
Dijon mustard (about spoonful)
Minced garlic (about 6 cloves)
Salt (to taste)
Minced hot pepper (If you dont like pepper use none, very little, or substitute ground black pepper)
zest and juice of 3 lemons
Combine ingredients and pour over meat. (Ziploc bag is best) place in the fridge and leave for at least an hour. The longer you leave it the better it will taste, no more than a day though (for fish, stick to the one hour mark)

The BBQ sauce
Ketchup (about 1/2 cup)
Brown Sugar (a little bit, the ketchup already has sugar in it. It's just to add flavor. A regular spoonful)
Dijon mustard (3 heaping spoonfuls)
Angostura Bitters (15-20 dashes)
Combine.

Pour off the marinade and THROW AWAY. Never try to save marinade. Place chicken (bone in) on a RACK in the pan, with water and onions in the base of the pan. Cook at 350° for about 20min, then brush on BBQ sauce. Add water to the pan as it dries out. Every 5-7min brush on a new coat of BBQ. About 3 times. The last time, brush on a coat and put under the broiler for about 3 min. You dont want it to burn, you just want a LITTLE BIT of char.

Thats it. Enjoy. Please try it out and tell me what you think
