This is an excellent glaze and dipping sauce for roasted, smoked or grilled
chicken. The ground chipotle (smoked jalapeño) adds a nice smoky
flavor and some heat to the sauce. This sauce should be used
in the last 10 minutes or so of grilling so it doesn’t burn or
use it as a table and dipping sauce.

3 cloves garlic, chopped (about 1 tablespoon)
1 1/2 tsp. dried thyme

2 tsp. smoked paprika
2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1 tsp. coarse kosher salt

Directions:
Heat the oil in a medium stockpot over medium heat. Add the onion and cook
until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, thyme and chipotle.
Stir and cook until the garlic is fragrant, another 2 to 3 minutes.

Add the remaining ingredients and stir well to combine. Reduce the heat
to low, partially cover and simmer for about 20 minutes,
whisking occasionally. Remove from the heat and allow the sauce to cool.

Cackalacky-style Slaw

In Cackalacky Country, you’ll find different coleslaw, again,
depending on the particular part of the region that you happen
to be in. Some of the coleslaw recipes will include mayonnaise
while others will only have crushed red pepper flakes, a little sugar
and vinegar for the dressing. Most folks use white cabbage, while
some folks use red cabbage! But, everyone agrees that it ain’t
barbecue without the slaw! This recipe happens to be
Cackalacky Jack’s favorite slaw recipe!

1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup Western  Cackalacky Barbecue Sauce
1 (2 1/2-pound) green cabbage, quartered and cored
1 cup shredded carrot
1 tablespoon celery seed
Coarse kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Using a “mandolin” or very sharp knife, slice the cabbage into fine shreds.

Whisk the mayonnaise and barbecue sauce together in
a large bowl. Mix in sliced cabbage, carrot and celery seed.
Season to taste with salt and pepper. Refrigerate
at least 4 hours, tossing occasionally.
