Country Style BBQ Sauce

You can't always tell a recipe by its ingredients.  I remember when I first made this BBQ sauce, I was skeptical, but boy was I in for a surprise when I licked the spoon!  It reminded me of a BBQ sauce we had tried out in South Carolina.  This recipe comes from one of my daughter-in-laws family reunion cookbooks.  The recipe states to use it to baste the chicken the last half hour.  I kept the extra to pass around the table.  Delicious!  You can also grill the chicken and then baste it  with the sauce the last 5 to 10 minutes.

Country Style BBQ Sauce

1.  In a pan combine the following ingredients:

(1)  1 cup of ketchup and 1/4 cup of salsa.

(2)   2 T brown sugar, 2 T melted butter (I use olive oil), and 2 T Worcestershire sauce.

(3)  Then add 1 T of dry mustard and 1/2 to 1 teaspoon salt.

(4)  2 cloves of minced garlic and 1 small stem of celery diced.

(5)  Simmer the sauce for ten minutes.

2.  Bake 3 to 4 pounds of chicken pieces at 350 for 30 minutes.

3. Drain any water.  Baste with sauce and bake for another 30 minutes.

4.  Put extra sauce in a small serving bowl to pass around the table.
