The Secret to Caribbean BBQ Sauce and Peg Leg Chicken

If you're looking for a recipe that will take your barbecue game to the next level, look no further than this Caribbean BBQ sauce and peg leg chicken recipe. This sauce is a game-changer, with its perfect balance of sweet, tangy, and spicy flavors. It's the perfect accompaniment to any grilled meal, and it's surprisingly easy to make.

To start, you'll need some essential ingredients. You're going to need some ketchup - a good quality one will do the trick. Next, you'll need two tablespoons of soy sauce, which adds depth and umami flavor to the sauce. Brown sugar is also a must-have, adding a touch of sweetness that balances out the acidity from the lime juice. Don't forget to add some jerk seasoning, which gives the sauce its Caribbean twist. If you can't find it locally, don't worry - you can easily get it online.

Now that we have our ingredients, let's put the sauce together. Start by combining 1/2 cup of ketchup with 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of brown sugar. Add 2 tablespoons of hot sauce - more or less to taste, depending on how spicy you like your food. Finally, add about 1 teaspoon of jerk seasoning. Now it's time to add the lime juice, which will help bring all these flavors together. Use about 2 tablespoons and don't forget to include some zest for an extra burst of citrus flavor.

To complete the sauce, we'll need a few other ingredients - garlic is key here, with just a couple of cloves crushed to release their oils. You can also add some spiced rum if you want to give your barbecue a little something extra. The amount will depend on how strong you like your flavors, but start with about half a cup and adjust from there.

Once we have our sauce complete, it's time to heat it up on the grill. This is where the magic happens - as the sauce simmers, the flavors meld together in perfect harmony. Bring everything to a simmer and let it thicken slowly, stirring occasionally. When it's done, you'll know it - the sauce will be rich, deep, and absolutely divine.

Now that we have our Caribbean BBQ sauce, it's time to turn it into peg leg chicken. This is where things get really interesting. To make peg legs, you'll need some thick-cut bacon. You want this to be nice and thin, so use a knife to slice the bacon down to about 1/4 inch thick. This will help the skin crisp up nicely when it's cooked.

Next, take your freshly cleaned chicken legs and trim away any excess meat or fat. This will help them cook more evenly and prevent them from becoming too greasy. You'll also need to expose the skin - this is where the magic happens, as the bacon crisps up alongside the chicken. Simply wrap each leg with a slice of bacon, securing it in place with toothpicks if needed.

Now that our peg legs are ready, it's time to throw them on the grill. As we discussed earlier, you want to cook these at an indirect temperature - about 325-350°F should do the trick. Place the chicken over the cooler side of the coals and close up the lid. After about 45 minutes to an hour, flip each leg over to ensure even cooking.

Halfway through, it's time for a little trick - simply flip the peg legs over again to build another layer of flavor on top. When they're done, you'll know it - the chicken will be moist and juicy, with a crispy exterior that just can't be beat. It's time to plate everything up and get ready to devour this incredible Caribbean BBQ sauce.
