Ingredients

  • Sauce:
  • 1 1/4 cups ketchup
  • 1 tsp hot sauce (or more depending on personal heat preference)

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

At Home:

  1. Make sauce: Combine ingredients in a medium saucepan. Cover and simmer 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add a little water if sauce gets too thick to pour. Let cool, then transfer to a container and chill up to 1 week.
  2. Prepare chicken: In a large bowl, coat chicken in oil; pack in a resealable plastic bag and chill up to 2 days, or freeze.

In Camp:

  1. Prepare charcoal or a wood fire.
  2. Place cast iron skillet or Dutch Oven over fire and preheat.
  3. Grill chicken in skillet until browned all over, about 15 minutes, turning occasionally.
  4. Generously brush tops with some of BBQ sauce, and cook a few minutes; repeat turning and brushing 2 more times, until chicken is well-browned and cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes total.
  5. Remove from skillet and top with additional BBQ sauce. Serve immediately.
