Swiss Chalet BBQ Sauce

This recipe is very close tasting to Swiss Chalet BBQ Sauce. In fact I think it's better because it's homemade. I have made it several times. Baste it on Beer Can Chicken or Rotisserie Chicken and save some for dipping. You may like it a little thicker as I did, so I doubled the cornstarch and water.

Close to Swiss Chalet BBQ Sauce

"This recipe ... appeared in the Toronto Star many years ago as a result of a contest to create a sauce similar to Swiss Chalet's barbecue sauce. This sauce is brushed on the chicken before cooking and served at the table in small containers to dip the chicken pieces in. Home economist Kay Spicer created the winning recipe."
