Burn Chicken

Ingredients
2 chicken leg quarters - 1 lb each
salt
black pepper
basting brush
Burn sauce
1/2 cup tomato puree
2 Tbl dark molasses
2 Tbl dark brown sugar
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1 Tbl yellow mustard
1 Tbl Worcestershire sauce
1/4 Tsp garlic powder
1/4 of a Habanero pepper
1/4 Tsp salt
Method
Combine all ingredients for the Burn Sauce into a non-reactive sauce pan. Bring the contents of the pan to a boil. Lower the heat. Simmer slowly and stir often for approximately 20 minutes - or until the sauce is relatively thick. (Remove the piece of the Habanero.)
broiling
1. Locate a broiler pan and a rack to fit the pan.

2. Place an oven grate into the oven and place the a broiler pan with the rack on the oven grate. Verify that the broiler pan is 5-7 inches from the flames - with a ruler.

3. Preheat the oven on the broil setting for 10 minutes - with the oven door closed.

4. While broiling, keep the oven door ajar.

Arrange the chicken quarters - skin side up and side by side - on the broiler rack. Broil for 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Turn the chicken quarters over and broil for 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Brush the quarters with some of the Burn Sauce. Broil until the sauce caramelizes on this side. Turn the quarters over. Brush and caramelize that side. Remove the quarters from the broiler. Allow the chicken to rest for 10 minutes. Serve.
