  • 1/4 cup each fresh lemon and orange juice
  • 3 Tbs. Worcestershire sauce

  • fresh minced garlic instead of the powdered )
  • 1/2 tsp grated lemon peel.
  • Chicken parts seasoned well with your favorite barbecue rub
  • ( remove excess skin & fat )

Directions
  1. Note: I doubled the sauce recipe for about 6 pounds of chicken parts plus had enough left over sauce to pass around the table if desired. for my barbecue
  2. For sauce:
  3. Combine all Ingredients in a saucepan bring to a rolling boil over medium heat and reduce heat and simmer until reduced to 1 1/2 cups.
  4. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Cool, cover and store refrigerated until use ( up to two weeks ).
