Southern White Barbecue Sauce {and Chicken Wraps}

We eat chicken a lot in our house, so we have to find ways to make it interesting and new. I came across this white barbecue sauce in one of my cookbooks– tried it– and became obsessed! It is so good! And different! I use it with chicken, but would probably be good with pork too. Not with red meat though. Marinate the chicken in the sauce for at least 4 hours. Or, if you are like me and procrastinate so you are lacking time, you can put in a vacuum bag, vacuum seal it, and let it fester for an hour or so. Vacuum sealing it will help the sauce penetrate the meat. You can reserve a little sauce to use for dunking, drizzling, or…saucing! (just reserve sauce BEFORE you add to chicken. Sauce that has touched raw chicken is then contaminated and should not be consumed.)

I like to use chicken tenders because they are easier to control your portion size, and cheaper than breasts. (They also cook much quicker!) But you could use breasts or thighs too!

Make extra! You’ll want leftovers!

This chicken is good as it, or dunked in the sauce, or put into a wrap! You know how I love tortillas!

I just warm the tortilla, then drizzle on some sauce, a layer of shredded cheese, green leaf lettuce, whole chicken tenders, and chopped tomato. Yum!

This recipe is good for about 4 lbs of chicken. It’s got a bit of spice, so if you like it less spicy, then you could cut back on the cayenne. Mix in a non-metallic bowl. Hope you love it!
