To make barbecue sauce, melt bacon drippings in a heavy, 3-quart or larger
pot. Add maple syrup, onion and garlic and cook 3 minutes. Add ketchup,
vinegar, molasses, Worcestershire sauce, beer, mustard, liquid smoke,
pequin and jalapenos. Stir well, cover & simmer 30 minutes. Meanwhile,
preheat oven to 400. Place chicken pieces, skin side up, in 2 large,
shallow roasting pans. Bake 30-40 minutes or until skin in parched, turn
over, reduce oven to 350. Generously baste each piece with sauce, using 3
cups of sauce; bake 15 minutes longer. Turn; baste skin side with pan
drippings and 1 cup more sauce. Bake 20 to 30 minutes longer, until sauce
is glazed and tips of chicken are browned. Makes 8-12 servings. For really
hot sauce, increase pequin up to 1 tablespoon and jalapenos up to 3
tablespoons!
