Southwest Seasoning
Notes from Folks...
I would love it if you could get the basting recipe for Tyson's Southwest Seasoned Chicken Breast Strips.
It is really tasty but I can't justify the price tag to get it and would like to be able to prepare my own. Thank you for your efforts and the wonder recipes you send us.

Hi Norma,
Tyson isn't making their secret ingredients too available. However, I've
posted some Southwestern chicken recipes below. Hopefully one of them can
become your new, less-expensive, substitute for Tyson.
Happy Cook'n,

Southwestern Barbecue Sauce
10 cloves garlic, baked (at 350°F for 30 minutes, then peel -- it's easy)
2 cups catsup
2 celery stalks, chopped
1 cup sweet or yellow onion, chopped
1 cup water
1/2 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
3 tablespoons chili powder
2 teaspoons instant coffee
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
Combine all ingredients in a saucepan. Slowly bring to a boil, reduce heat
and simmer for 20 minutes. Allow to cool.
Pour mixture into blender container. Process until smooth, scraping down
side of container as necessary. Makes about 5 cups.
Note: May be used to baste meat or chicken and/or served as a sauce on the
side. If you use the sauce both for basting and serving on the side, be sure
to separate the sauce used for basting from the sauce you will serve. The
sauce used for basting will accumulate raw meat juices via your basting
brush or mop as you baste and, therefore, should not be eaten.
