Aye, A wee Rum BBQ Sauce for Superbowl Chicken Thighs & Wings

Argh, It's Superbowl Sunday!!

So Let's Pillage Some of the Captains Rum!!

This is a Sweet and Sneaky Hot BBQ Sauce.

Mix the following in a sauce pan over a medium heat on the stove.

1/2 C honey
2 C ketchup
1 C brewed coffee
2 Tbl Sp Worcestershire sauce
2 Tbl Sp brown mustard
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp chipotle pepper
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/3 C Captain Morgan's Private Stock Rum

Bring to boil and reduce heat to simmer for about 15 mins. and allow to cool.

I used some chicken thighs and smoked them with my rub (listed in the first post) and added 1 tsp of cayenne pepper to bring up the heat. They smoked for an hour with apple wood smoke. After an hour I used the sauce to baste the thighs on both sides and continued to smoke for 30 mins more. And basted a finish coat 5 mins before taking them off the smoker.
