HONEY BARBECUED CHICKEN OR SHRIMP



Honey Barbecued Chicken or Shrimp image

A delicious grilled recipe that makes the meat very tender. The part that takes the longest is allowing the meat to marinate!

Provided by bellacola

Categories     Chicken

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/4 cup barbecue sauce (I love Sweet Baby Ray's Hot and Spicy)
1/4 cup honey (use the real stuff, if you buy it in bulk, it's pretty cheap) or 1/4 cup maple syrup (use the real stuff, if you buy it in bulk, it's pretty cheap)
2 tablespoons sweet sherry
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 lb chicken or 1 lb shrimp

Steps:

  • Mix first four ingredients together
  • Place chicken or shrimp in a freezer bag or bowl and add marinade
  • Marinate for at least one hour (I often add the marinade as soon as I take the meat out of the freezer and let it thaw in the marinade)
  • Grill or broil until meat is no longer pink (sorry, I am horrible with cooking times!).

Tips:

  • Choose the right type of chicken or shrimp: For chicken, boneless, skinless breasts or thighs work well. For shrimp, large or medium shrimp are best.
  • Marinate the chicken or shrimp for at least 30 minutes: This will help the flavors to penetrate the meat.
  • Cook the chicken or shrimp over medium heat: This will help to prevent the meat from drying out.
  • Baste the chicken or shrimp with the barbecue sauce frequently: This will help to keep the meat moist and flavorful.
  • Serve the chicken or shrimp with your favorite sides: Mashed potatoes, green beans, and corn on the cob are all great options.

Conclusion:

Honey barbecued chicken or shrimp is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and tasty meal, give honey barbecued chicken or shrimp a try.
