  • Hi Lynz,

    Here's a fairly easy bbq marinade that you can add towards the end of the cooking time. Because it contains sugar (in the honey) if you put it on at the beginning of the cooking time, it'll burn, so brush it on in the last 15 minutes or so.

    Combine:

    1tbsp tomato ketchup
    2tsp HP sauce
    1tsp soy sauce
    1tsp honey
    pinch of smoked paprika
    dash of tabasco 'chipotle' sauce (this makes it smoky)

    Adjust the ingredients to taste if you like your barbecue sauce hotter or milder. If you don't have chipotle sauce, regular chili sauce will do.
    Hope this helps!

    I do honey and garlic chicken which is just garlic granules mixed with honey and baked in the oven, could be finished off on the barbecue very easily.

    It's just a lumpier version of garlic powder really :D Garlic powder could be used instead or Onion or celery salt to ring in the changes.
