Tips:

  • Use a variety of apples. This will give your applesauce a more complex flavor. Some good choices include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn apples.
  • Cook the applesauce until it is thick and bubbly. This will help to concentrate the flavor and make it more flavorful.
  • Add a little bit of vinegar to the applesauce. This will help to balance out the sweetness of the apples and give it a more tangy flavor.
  • Use a good quality barbecue sauce. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your chicken.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through. You can check this by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken. The internal temperature should read 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.
