# Carolina-Style Barbecued Chicken
## INGREDIENTS
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
8 chicken thighs
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 medium green bell pepper, finely chopped
1 cup frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed
1 cup ketchup
½ cup butter or margarine, melted
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
3 tablespoons cider vinegar
**SERVES 4**
## Make Ahead
You can prepare the sauce in step 2 up to 8 hours ahead and refrigerate until ready to use.
## VARIATION
If your family is a white-meat only family, this recipe works equally well with turkey tenders.
## DIRECTIONS
**1** Preheat grill. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken. Cook until chicken is browned, about 3 minutes per side. Remove skillet from heat.
**2** Combine onion, bell pepper and lemonade concentrate in a medium saucepan. Stir in ketchup and butter. Add salt, hot pepper sauce, garlic powder, cayenne pepper and vinegar; mix well.
**3** Bring sauce to a boil; reduce heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Reserve half of sauce. Place chicken on grill; baste with remaining sauce.
**4** Grill chicken, turning frequently and basting with sauce, until cooked through, about 10 minutes. Serve reserved sauce with chicken.
## Make It Quicker
• Frozen lemonade concentrate is easily thawed by placing it in the refrigerator the night before you plan to use it. Or, simply run warm water over the can for 3 to 4 minutes for a fast thaw.
