Carolina Style Barbecue Chicken recipe by Barefeet In The Kitchen

Slightly sweet, tangy with a hint of spice, this was a great barbecue chicken marinade. Living in the desert has some advantages this time of year. When I came home the other night, our neighbor’s barbecue smelled fantastic.

I knew that I wanted to grill the following night and I was inspired to try making something different.

    Hey, thanks for the link:)

    Looks like you did really well. It's funny, I started my whole grilling/bbq adventure trying to perfect the Carolina style bbq pork and Carolina style burger (slaw, chili, onions, mustard). Now that you mention it, I don't really have an idea of what Carolina style chicken would be except maybe with a South Carolina style mustard sauce. You have my wheels turning now:)
