bbq: I have this honey bbq sauce and was wondering if I can marinade the chicken in that. And when do I marinade them? They are almost thawed but still frozen in the middle. |||The people who say the sauce will burn are only partly correct. The sugar in BBQ sauce will cause the sauce to burn when cooked at very high temperatures or for a long time, but it's fine on relatively fast-cooking items like chicken cutlets. If you don't brush it on until the end, you'll end up with some pretty bland chicken cutlets. Instead, begin marinating the cutlets now, while they are still defrosting. The longer you marinate, the more intense the BBQ flavor will be. Just don't begin cooking them until they are fully defrosted all the way though.|||let the chicken thaw in the sauce, and poke holes in the chicken with a fork so some of the sauce can seep down it it. BBQ sause is thick and it doesn't penetrate meat like other marinades will. You can actually bake the chicken while its sitting in the sauce. I like to marinate my chickin in italian dressing, then bake them.....mmmmmmmmm delish.|||Yes you could use the sauce as a marinade, and if the breasts are partially thawed they could be put in immediately. Add all of the marinade to the roasting pan so you can baste the breasts, otherwise discard.|||yes you can from right now. When you bake it, bake the sauce with it to give it more flavor as it bakes with the chicken and then it will also be safe to eat with the chicken.|||You can, but that sauce will likely burn as you cook yoru chicken. Make sure it's not over direct flame when cooking.|||BBQ sauce is high in sugar content, therefore causing a burning glaze. It is better to bake or grill the chicken plain then brush it with the BBQ sauce toward the end!
