Ingredients
Instructions
- Beat the egg with poultry seasoning in a mixing bowl.
- Add the cooking oil, white vinegar, salt, and pepper to the bowl.
- Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of smoked paprika or a dash of hot sauce to the marinade. If you don't have poultry seasoning, you can substitute it with equal parts thyme, sage, and rosemary. Make sure to let the chicken marinate for at least an hour, or overnight for more intense flavor. This sauce is versatile and can be used for other proteins as well, like pork or beef.
Serving Suggestions
This barbecue sauce pairs beautifully with grilled chicken pieces, making it a perfect centerpiece for summer cookouts. Serve it alongside classic sides like coleslaw and cornbread for a hearty meal. For a complete dinner, consider offering baked potatoes or a fresh garden salad. It also complements dishes like Baked Cream Of Chicken, enhancing the overall flavor profile.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover barbecue sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. If you have grilled chicken pieces left over, keep them in a separate container, also in the fridge. When reheating, gently warm the chicken in the oven or microwave until heated through, and serve with the sauce drizzled over the top.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I adjust the spice level of this barbecue sauce?
Absolutely! If you prefer a spicier sauce, add cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce to the mix. Start with a small amount and taste as you go to find your desired heat level. You can also experiment with adding a bit of honey or brown sugar for a sweet and spicy combination.
How long can I marinate the chicken in this sauce?
You can marinate the chicken pieces for anywhere from 1 hour to overnight. For the best flavor, aim for at least 4 to 6 hours. Just be cautious not to exceed 24 hours, as the acidity from the vinegar may start to break down the meat, affecting its texture.

Definitely! This barbecue sauce works well with various types of meat such as pork ribs, beef brisket, or even grilled vegetables. Just adjust the marinating time according to the type of meat you are using. It's a versatile sauce that enhances the flavor of many different proteins.
