We all have those friends or people in our families whose grilled food always tastes so good. They have mastered the art. They also love to give you their grilling techniques, especially while standing at the pit. We recently learned this:
A “mop sauce” is similar to a barbecue sauce but it is vinegar-based, contains no sugar and is used only for basting, not for serving. A simple version can add great flavor to chicken on the grill. Combine 2 c. cider vinegar, 1 Tbls. Kosher salt, 1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper, 1 Tbls. red hot pepper flakes and 1 Tbls. tabasco sauce. Using bone-in/skin-on chicken breasts, rub the chicken meat with olive oil, salt and pepper under the skin. Place on a hot grill and brown each side of the breast. Then, using indirect heat, continue to cook, “mopping” on the sauce with a brush until done. You can drizzle a little extra sauce over the chicken when you take it off the grill and let it stand for a few minutes before serving. Serve with Gingered Hash Browns and simple sauteed greens (chard, spinach, kale, etcetera – whatever looks best at market).
