Ingredients:

7 chicken tenders, drumsticks, thighs, etc… (Cooking time may vary)

Citrus BBQ Sauce-

Zest and juice of 1 lemon

Zest and juice of 1 orange

1 cup ketchup

2 tablespoons light brown sugar

2 cloves garlic

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

2 teaspoons ground cumin

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Directions:

1. Place chicken in a bag or Tupperware.  Coat with 1 cup of the BBQ sauce.  Refrigerate and allow chicken to marinate for at least an hour or preferably overnight.
2. Add the remaining sauce to a small saucepan.  Bring sauce to a boil over medium high heat.  Reduce heat to low and simmer until sauce thickens in about 10 minutes. 
3. Preheat grill to medium high heat.
4. Remove chicken from marinade and allow excess sauce to drain off.
5. Coat chicken on both sides with BBQ sauce.  Grill 3-4 minutes per side if using chicken tenders (longer if cooking drumsticks or thighs).  Add more sauce when you flip the chicken over.
6. Serve with any remaining sauce brushed on.
