Amish cooks are like any other group, you have some "lazy" (don't mean that in a bad way) cooks who just buy a bottle of barbecue sauce (Open Pit is a popular brand) at the store, slather their birds with it and grill and go. Â Other Amish cooks take their barbecuing very seriously crafting flavorful barbecue blends and then letting their poultry soak up the flavors. Â Gender roles come into play in who "mans" the grill...while most cooking in Amish homes falls to women, men tend to handle the grill.
This is a flavorful, tasty recipe that comes to us from an Amish settlement in Virginia, looks tasty!
