Barbeque Chicken
This is A-(voice raises an octave)-MAZING! I love to dip it, dip it.
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons butter
1 c. ketchup
1/4 c packed brown sugar
1/4 c. chili sauce (see substitutions below)
2 T. worcestershire sauce
1/2 t. celery seed
1 T. prepared mustard
1/2 t. salt
2 dashes hot pepper sauce
8 large chicken breast halves, bone -in ( I just use regular boneless skinless chicken breasts and drastically reduce the cook time. Maybe 20 minutes total.)
In a saucepan, saute the garlic in butter until tender. Add the next 8 ingredients. Bring to a boil stirring constantly. Remove from the heat and set aside. Set a small bowl aside for dipping! Grill the chicken, covered over medium heat for 30 minutes, turning occasionally. Baste with sauce. Grill 15 minutes longer or until juices run clear. Continue basting and truning during the last 15 minutes of cooking.
(With regular chicken breasts, I just turn and baste over and over again for a total of about 15-20 minutes or until done.)
Serve with any extra sauce you set aside for dipping.
SUB FOR CHILI SAUCE: Note that this is for 1 cup of chili sauce and this recipe only calls for 1/4 c.
1 c. tomato sauce + 1/4 c. brown sugar+ 2 T. vinegar + 1/4 t. cinammon + dash of ground cloves + dash of ground all spice = 1 c. chili sauce.

Lemon Chicken
This tastes just like the lemon chicken you get from chinese take out. Just a bit healthier! Tasty! I've been making more chinese dishes lately to get the taste without the gross greasy feeling afterwards. Try serving it with fried rice and ginger broccoli.
6 boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons soya sauce
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2 eggs
2 cups oil
1/2 cup white sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
2 lemons
Preheat oven to 325.
Cut each chicken breast into 3 pieces then marinate them in the soya sauce. (I sliced mine into about 6 slices) Whisk the 1/4 c. cornstarch and baking powder together, then beat in the eggs. Chill in refrigerator while you make the sauce.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar and 2 tablespoons cornstarch. Stir in the lemon juice and chicken broth, then set aside.
Dip the chicken pieces into the chilled batter, then fry in hot oil in a frying pan until brown.
Spray a 9x13 glass pan with cooking spray, then lay the chicken in it.
Using the same frying pan, add 2 tablespoons oil. Slice one of the lemons, and stir fry until they start to brown. Stir in the remaining sauce mixture, continue stirring until the sauce has thickend. Pour over the chicken.
Slice the remaining lemon, and layer over the chicken. 2Bake for 30-40 min's until the chicken is done.
