Recipes: Grilled Chipotle and Cola BBQ Chicken

Not much happening here today, so here's a little recipe that appeared in my inbox today. The Tabasco company sends me recipes all the time, and this one looks pretty interesting. Cola and barbecue sauce is a classic pairing. I may try it.

Grilled Chipotle and Cola BBQ Chicken

• 1 1/2 pounds very thin cut boneless chicken breasts
  
• 1/2 cup cola
  
• 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
  
• 1 1/2 tablespoons TABASCO® brand Chipotle Pepper Sauce
  

Combine the cola, BBQ sauce and TABASCO^® Chipotle Sauce in a medium-sized bowl. Add the chicken and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour or overnight.

Heat a grill to medium-high. Cook the chicken for about 6 minutes per side. Serve immediately or at room temperature.

Makes 6 servings.
