Blackberry BBQ Chicken - A Tasty Sauce You'll Have to Try!

Our family loves a good BBQ!   I like trying different types of sauces especially if they're from scratch.  This particular one came off of a bag of blackberries. I was a bit skeptical at first when I looked it over, but when I tasted the chicken, I was like wow, those blackberries make this BBQ sauce so yummy! 

Often I cook BBQ chicken in my oven in the winter. I just put it on my broiler pan, and cook it at 400 for 25 minutes, then I  baste it again and flip it and cook it for another 25 minutes.

Blackberry BBQ Chicken

This makes 3 1/2 cups of sauce.  You can use some for basting and then warm some up on the stove and serve it with the chicken. 

1.  Prepare BBQ Sauce - Put the following ingredients into a blender:
(1)  1 1/2 cups of blackberries
(2)  1 1/4 cups of ketchup
(3)  3 T of brown sugar
(4)  2 1/2 T of balsamic vinegar
(5)  1 3/4 tsp. of chili powder and 3/4 of dry mustard.

2.  Skin and rinse chicken.

3.  Grill chicken:  Get your grill going and then put it on high heat and sear chicken a few minutes each side in order to hold all the juices in while grilling.  Turn it down to medium and continue to grill the chicken, basting  them with the sauce.
