Total Time: 1 hr Preparation Time: 30 mins Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 6
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 celery rib, chopped
• 1 1/2 lbs ground chicken
• 1 1/2 cups dry cornbread stuffing mix
• 3/4 cup prepared thick barbecue sauce
• 1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
• 1 egg

Recipe

• 1 prepare a medium-hot barbecue fire or preheat a gas grill; coat grill rack with vegetable oil or cooking spray.
• 2 in a medium skillet, heat the oil; cook the onion and celery over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are softened (about 5 minutes).
• 3 in a mixing bowl, combine the chicken, 1 cup stuffing mix, 1/4 cup barbecue sauce, hot pepper sauce, egg, and cooked vegetables.
• 4 divide the mixture into 6 parts; form each into an oval loaf about 1-inch thick.
• 5 spread the remaining stuffing mix on a plate and dip the loaves into the stuffing to coat lightly.
• 6 grill the loaves on one side for 10 minutes; turn carefully with a spatula, brush the cooked side of the loaves with the remaining 1/2 cup barbecue sauce, then grill about 10-15 minutes or until loaves are cooked through.
• 7 leftover suggestion: reheat chunks in bottled barbecue sauce thinned with beer; ladle chunks and sauce into sandwich rolls along with coleslaw for a hot barbecue sandwich.
