Blackberry BBQ Chicken Halves

Blackberry Preserves aren’t just for biscuits. They make a great BBQ sauce that helps yield one of the juiciest chickens we’ve ever tasted. This berry-glazed bird pairs perfectly with creamed corn, macaroni and cheese, and hashbrown casserole. Plan well ahead though, this recipe requires brining the chicken for one to two days before cooking.

This recipe is featured in our Loveless Cafe Cookbook!

  1. In a large bowl, mix water, vinegar, bay leaves, garlic, and brown sugar. Set aside.
