Marinades sometimes use coffee or espresso, and that inspired me to add tea to perk up a barbecue sauce.—Kelly Williams, Forked River, New Jersey
Ingredients
1 cup unsweetened apple juice
1 cup water
2 teaspoons seafood seasoning
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
1 chicken (4 to 5 pounds), cut up
1 cup barbecue sauce
½ cup sweet tea
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°. Pour apple juice and water into a large shallow roasting pan. Mix seafood seasoning, paprika, garlic powder and pepper; rub over chicken. Place in roasting pan.
Bake, covered, until juices run clear and a thermometer reads 170° to 175°, about 50-60 minutes. Transfer chicken to a foil-lined 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Whisk barbecue sauce and sweet tea; brush some of mixture over chicken.
Place chicken on greased grill rack; grill over medium heat 3-4 minutes per side, brushing occasionally with remaining sauce.
