I am going to put it out there. The BEST recipes are in the Cooking for Two from the America's Test Kitchen book. This recipe rivals our favorite grilled chicken wing recipe in taste. It is phenomenal. The thigh meat cooked amazingly and the sauce was truly delicious. A real barbecue tasting sauce, and then there is the slaw. Eric said it was the best slaw he's ever had, and that's saying a lot because he's really picky about slaw and the amount of mayonnaise most call for.

The best part about this recipe is the story they give on how they came to the final ingredients. My favorite line is "When our barbecued chicken grilled up dry, we turned to our favorite problem solver: bacon." Adding a bacon paste (uncooked bacon put through a food processor) is something I have never heard of. I used my go-to turkey bacon and it came out fine and paste-y. Truly fascinating thing to add and it makes me wonder what would happen if I started adding this paste to other recipes.

My favorite part was the sauce. I'm kind of a condiment junky and this blend of ketchup, molasses, shallots, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, cider vinegar, and sugar is so simple but so so so delicious.
