1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp black pepper
optional {for a spicier kick, add 3/4 tsp of Cayenne pepper to the sauce)
6 skinless bone-in chicken breasts (2 1/4 lbs)

1. Heat skillet over med heat until hot. Add onion and garlic, cook and stir about 5 minutes or until tender

2. Stir in tomato sauce, water, sugar, chili sauce, chili powder, thyme, Worcestershire sauce, red pepper, cinnamon, and black pepper; heat to boil. Reduce heat to a simmer. Let the sauce simmer, uncovered, for about 30 minutes or until the sauce reduces to about 1 1/2 cups. Reserve some sauce for basting while chicken is on the grill.

3. Prepare grill for direct grilling

4. Grill chicken turning several times and basting with sauce. (30 to 35 minutes or until chicken internal temp is a consistent 180 degrees.

5. Heat remaining sauce in skillet over medium heat until hot, spoon over chicken. The sauce will be thick.

Matt's Grill - Spicy Tangy BBQ Chicken

Just grilled this last night, it tasted great. It was raining and storming, but I toughed it out and it was more than worth it.

Tangy BBQ Chicken Recipe
1 lb chicken (I used Tyson Boneless Chicken Breasts)
1 cup of cider vinegar
1 tbsp Worchestershire sauce
1 tbsp Cayenne Pepper
1 tsp salt (recipe says only a tsp but I'm a little liberal with the salt)
1 tsp black pepper
3/4 cup of Sweet Baby Ray's Original Barbecue Sauce (This is a Quasebarth household special) but use whatever sauce you enjoy.

Place chicken in shallow glass dish or large heavy plastic bag. Combine vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, cayenne pepper, salt, black pepper, in small bowl; pour over chicken pieces. Cover dish or seal bag. Marinate in refrigerator at least 4 hours, turning several times.

Oil hot grid to help prevent sticking. (I used PAM) Grill chicken on a covered grill, over medium heat. Turn and baste with barbecue sauce the last 10 minutes of cooking. Remove from grill; baste with barbecue sauce.

**Be sure to take precaution when cooking chicken and follow grill instructions according to heat distribution and cooking temperatures.
