Deceivingly Spicy

Sometimes you know when a meal is going to be spicy; sometimes you don't.  This Applesauce BBQ Chicken was a wee bit deceiving.  You don't really expect the sauce to have such a bite with the applesauce and brown sugar in it, but trust me, it's a little spicy.  Not a bad spicy, don't get me wrong.  It's quite delicious if you like your food flavorful!  I've made it twice and enjoyed it both times.

Now, in the picture, there are some oven fries along with the chicken.  I had planned to write about both recipes, but I'm not sure I liked the oven fries enough to do so.  They were good, but I think I can find better potatoes.  I'll keep looking for a good recipe.
