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. Other Amish cooks take their barbecuing very seriously crafting flavorful barbecue blends and then letting their poultry soak up the flavors. 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!
