I'm too stressed out to function and pissed at the world. What's the best bbq sauce to put on chicken legs? (lemmy.ml)

I'm at a shitty point in my life where I'm just close enough to rock bottom to smell it but far enough that I still have something to lose.

One thing I still have control over is what I'm going to have for lunch. I decided on chicken legs. I'm going to smoke them with Applewood and score the legs so they can hold bbq sauce. I'm going to the store soon but don't have a favorite sauce, and I'm looking for recommendations. What bbq sauce is best to cook onto the chicken legs?

I've never heard of this, but now I want to try it on the spatchcocked chicken I'm grilling tonight. How important is the horseradish, and can it be substituted since it's the only thing I don't normally buy?

It would take away a lot of the zing... But it's cooking, you do you!

Ground white pepper should do the trick if you have some. It's 99% heat and 1% pepper flavor so it would be a good stand in for horseradish. My brain first went to ground ginger but it won't really be a good sub for horseradish. Though it may taste good given the other ingredients. If you don't have white pepper, I'd just up the cayenne. It doesn't have that nostril burning quality to it but it'll be spicy nonetheless

Took your advice, with a twist...replaced the horseradish with half a teaspoon of white pepper and half a teaspoon of hot mustard powder to try to give it a different spiciness to it. The initial mix is creamy and tangy, but I'm sure it'll defuse nicely once it has a chance to sit. Can't wait to get this on the grill...
