My husband and I LOVE to watch cooking shows…it’s pretty much the only television I watch anymore. Last night we watched, “Diners, Drive-ins and Dives” as they featured a place we used to eat when we lived in San Antonio, Texas.
This immediately made us hungry for good BBQ. Sadly you can’t find a lot of good BBQ up here in Chiberia, so you know what that meant, right?
Right…I decided to tackle making homemade BBQ sauce-something I’ve never attempted. As always, I don’t ‘measure’ exactly, more so I use my pallet to judge how much of each ingredient I need. So take these ‘measurements’ with a grain of salt. lol, no pun intended.
BBQ Sauce-what you’ll need:
2 cups of ketchup
1/2 cup of brown sugar
a few splashes of Worcestershire sauce
a few splashes of apple cider vinegar
Dash of cayenne pepper
kosher salt and pepper to taste
2 cloves of garlic, finely minced
Mix together in a bowl, transfer into a sauce pan, and simmer on low heat for about 25 minutes.
Chicken prep:
Pre-heat oven to 275 degrees
Pat chicken dry, and season with salt and pepper
Heat extra virgin olive oil in a sauté pan to medium/high heat
Seer both sides for 3 minutes or so until golden brown (do not cook through)
Place chicken in a casserole dish (I line mine with aluminum foil for easy clean-up) and liberally cover with the BBQ sauce you’ve prepared.
Cover with foil, and bake for about 90 minutes to 2 hours.
Serve with your favorite sides! I sautéed veggies, and made homemade chips! Although I did fry the chips, I used peanut oil which is a little better for you? I only had a few!! LOL!
Enjoy!
Oh this looks so delicious! I am always on the hunt for a good BBQ recipe so I will give this a try and let you know how I liked it! Have a happy Valentine’s Day!

Babe, you are kicking yourself WAY too hard. You are a WARRIOR ! It breaks my heart to hear the pain in your heart. As women, mothers, wife’s, career women, we hold ourselves too much higher standards than ANYONE else ever will! I am seeing RED FLAGS in your dialogue. This is simply my opinion, I think you should connect with your Dr. who worked with you on your mental health issues. I think you need to revisit what your needs are at this point in time! Love you soooo much:)

Love you too. Not sure how you got that out of this recipe? Yes. I am struggling. I am unsure as to how I will provide for my family. But I’m still finding joy in the things I love. Xo
