Ingredients:

• 1 cup ketchup
• 2/3 cup strong brewed coffee

• 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
• few drops hickory liquid smoke
• 6 (1/2-lb.) boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1. Spray a grill rack with nonstick spray. Preheat grill wo medium-high or prepare medium-high fire using indirect method.
2. Meanwhile, combine ketchup, coffee, brown sugar, vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and the pepper in a medium saucepan and set over medium heat. Cook, stirring, until brown sugar is dissolved, about 3 minutes. Bring mixture to boil; reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat; stir in liquid smoke. Let sauce cool to room temperature.

Note: This recipe appears in the  WW New Complete Cookbook. If you're craving BBQ, this dish is for you. This dish is better than what you would order at the local BBQ joint. It's succulent, juicy and flavorful. I highly recommend cutting the sugar in half, substitute honey in place of the sugar and add minced garlic to the sauce for a much sweeter and more savory flavor. You can also use this sauce with pork, turkey, and even some fish like salmon and arctic char and the BBQ will still be delicious.
