This spicy, rich BBQ sauce will wake up your taste buds. The ingredients might surprise you but you won't be disappointed. I served it over chicken but it would also be good over pork or beef.
Makes 2 cups sauce
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons butter
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 teaspoon white mustard seeds, toasted and ground
½ onion, peeled and finely chopped
½ teaspoon Cajun Seasoning
2 tablespoons honey
1/3 cup cola
1 cup Worcestershire sauce
1 cup ketchup
½ lemon, juice
2 tablespoons of your favorite hot sauce (or more depending on how hot you like it)
4 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
Instructions:
In a saucepan, melt the butter. Add the onion and cook until slightly golden. Add garlic, mustard, Cajun seasoning, honey and cola and bring to a simmer. Add the Worcestershire, ketchup, lemon juice and the hot sauce. Cook for 20-30 minutes on medium low heat to thicken the sauce.
Salt and pepper the chicken. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large pan. Pan sauté the chicken until golden. Turn chicken, cover with lid and continue to cook until juices run clear. Can cut chicken into bite size pieces. Pour the sauce over the chicken and cook on low another 5-10 minutes to allow flavors to blend into chicken.
