To Sauce or not to Sauce

[little smokey]

Do you BBQ sauce your chicken thighs, legs, quarters etc?  If so when do you sauce them after they are done or almost done?  I myself have been experimenting with saucing 30 minutes before done and a light layer of sauce after being done, it seems to be pretty good this way.  Although of course I leave some un-sauced since I love the taste of the rub also by itself.

Totally a matter of taste. As you pointed out, you like some with sauce and some without. I like to use sauce for dipping after they're done, but I like crispy skin.

Saucing before they are done, lets the Sauce caramelize a bit and brings out additional flavors in the sauce and Chicken. For Crispier skin leave it off.  I'm a SAUCER at 155*F for Breasts and 165*F for Legs and Thighs and let them ride up 10* more...JJ

I agree about the carmelization, I think it brought out great flavors.

If I'm in the mood for sauce I heat it and brush it on after it's on the dinner plate.

Sometimes we do, sometimes we don't.

I guess it depends on the mood were in.
