Close to Swiss Chalet Barbecue Sauce Recipe

[trinidolphin]

I used to work at swiss chalet, they put in some of the fat drippings into the sauce as well.

[contour961]

you should try St Hubert sauce, really the best!!!!

[yoyomax12]

@contour961 We eat St. Hubert sauce all the time at home, we love it!

[dandasha66]

if I replace the chicken bouillon with a beef bouillon what would the replacement for the poultry seasoning be? because we have a family member that's allergic to chicken and its by products namely eggs but he loves sauces .... thanx

[yoyomax12]

@dandasha66 There is no poultry in poultry seasoning, it is usually ground sage, rosemary and other spices.

[killuminati63]

you forgot the MSG haha

[yoyomax12]

@killuminati63 lol!!!! you are right, maybe that's why it didn't quite taste like the "real" thing

[lavidaloca691]

@killuminati63 swiss chalet doesnt use msg in any of its products ...

good try though?

[srroberts07]

Great recipe, very close to the real thing! I find reducing the water a bit and replacing it with the drippings from the chicken makes it even closer.

[yoyomax12]

@srroberts07 I think reducing the water would make a difference for sure and chicken drippings!

[pecker22110]

happy new year....made you swiss chalet sauce last night and it was absolutely lovely..........not got swiss chalet here in france but i will enjoy what you show....keep up the good vids..doing your choc chip cookies next

[yoyomax12]

@pecker22110 Thanks so much for letting me know you are trying these recipes! It makes me happy :)

[ITMBnF]

"Heck yeah on a scale of 1-10 its 2 billion"

I like that kid. :D

[yoyomax12]

Thanks! We like him too. :)

[Charles090891]

i work at swiss chalet and although it doesn't taste like the sauce, it does taste GOOD.

[yoyomax12]

To me, it does taste a little like the Swiss Chalet sauce. The real stuff is the best though!

[brojoghost]

just one bay leaf?

And Yay for using electric stove! Gas stoves scare me

[yoyomax12]

The great things about gas stoves is that you have instant heat. You aren't waiting for the element to heat up.

I'm not sure that bay leaves actually add any flavour at all! I'll have to put on in plain water to see if I can taste anything.

[yescandles]

Never heard of Swiss Chalet but this looks delish. Anything with that many ingredients has to be special!

[yoyomax12]

I had no clue prior to making this video that there were no Swiss Chalet restaurants in the USA. They are everywhere here in Canada.

I learn many things on YT!

[Topher1200s]

There are, or were Swiss Chalet's in the US. The Buffalo area had many when was living there. I haven't lived there in years so they may no longer be in business. I'm going to try this recipe as I have been jonesing for some Chalet BBQ sauce.

[yoyomax12]

This recipe is very close to the Chalet sauce, not exactly the same, but great with chicken none the less. Thanks!

[1DRock37167]

Good BBQ sauce takes some effort, this looks GREAT!!! Needs more hot sauce tho...

I like my suace thicker too!

[yoyomax12]

This is more of a gravy than a traditional BBQ sauce. It is not designed to be brushed on meat so that it sticks. It is kind of like the "au jus" that you use to dip roast beef in, except for rotisserie chicken.

We have many different chains of rotisserie chicken restaurants here in Canada. Swiss Chalet is kind of like the Denny's of the rotisserie restaurants. A relatively inexpensive family type restaurant.

[LatteSue]

That looks yummy! I don't have all those spices so I'll have to come over to your house and borrow some. ;)

[yoyomax12]

My pantry is open to you Sue!

You are welcome to all the parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme that you want. (HA! now that song is in your head isn't it?)

[imperceptibleme]

Well you know if Max likes it, it must be fantastic! Never heard of Swiss Chalet but dipping sauce for the chicken sounds good. I like to dip chicken in honey mustard but I love BBQ sauce too! Hugs girl. Tell Max, good joke!

[yoyomax12]

I have learned by doing this video that Swiss Chalet is not in the USA!

They are extremely common here, I just assumed they were everywhere!

This is a very nice dipping sauce for chicken.

[2TheLeftOfNoWhere]

You know I don't like sweet meat but this really sounds good! I can do BBQ chicken. Mmmm

I believe it about the muscle sprouts. That is the strongest gas Jelly ever had.  Literally drove us out of the house.

[yoyomax12]

Jelly eats brussel sprouts?

I had no idea that there were no Swiss Chalet restaurants in the USA, lol!

I am not well traveled.

[2TheLeftOfNoWhere]

I don't know if there are Swiss Chalet restaurants here. I just know what I saw you make looks really good!

Jelly is no longer allowed to eat brussel sprouts. But in general he loves vegetables. He answers to Hoover if we drop anything in the kitchen. He also makes a great prewash for the dishwasher. :-)

[AmethystButterflyGrl]

OMG one of the things I miss most about living in Canada is Swiss Chalet BBQ sauce. I always make sure to go there if I'm in Canada. I'm definitely gonna make this! Thanks for sharing!

Hugs!

Lori :)

[yoyomax12]

I had not idea that there weren't any Swiss Chalets in the USA! You can tell I don't travel much, lol.

[AmethystButterflyGrl]

Oh heck if they were smart they would come here. I'm telling you I'm considering a trip now just to get a fix! Of course, now I don't have to....I'm definitely putting this recipe in my recipe book! I think it would be a good dipping sauce even for the boneless breasts that I generally eat.

[GramsandPapi]

I have no idea what the Swiss Chalet is, but the sauce looks yummy! Definatey Max approved, and that's good enough for me! LOL! Muscle Sprouts! Thanks, Ang

[yoyomax12]

Swiss Chalet is primarily a rotisserie chicken restaurant. I had no idea that there weren't any in the USA!!

[angelboku1]

That sounds heavenly, I'll have to give it a try! I love all your little measuring gadgets, and tupperware thing'a'ma'bobbers. You've got really cool stuff! LOL.. Gimme Gimme Gimme!! haha

I think we should all head to YoYo's house for dinner!

[angelboku1]

I put this in my recipe playlist so I won't forget to try it. I'm not a huge fan of sweet BBQ sauces, and this doesn't appear sweet at all, so I'm sure we'll greatly enjoy it.

[yoyomax12]

This sauce has zero sweetness. It is more like a gravy for dipping, and isn't used to coat meat.

I am a kitchen gadget fanatic, I am constantly on the look out for new stuff.

[CountryComesToTown]

Tammy I've never had Swiss Chalet sauce but I love any kind of sauce and it looked good. If Max approves, it must be good stuff! LOL -Jim

[angelboku1]

Jim, I highly doubt you'd stop with only 6 drops of hot sauce though.. I think you'd probably pour in half the bottle. LOL

[yoyomax12]

Thanks Jim!

I had no idea that Swiss Chalet was a Canadian chain, they are literally everywhere here in Canada. Kind of like Denny's, you can always find one somewhere.

[yoyomax2]

It looks yummy!

I would like some mussel sprouts in my garden!

Tu es toujour drole Max,

xoxoxo

[yoyomax12]

Love you!

[cozzyk]

That looks wonderful. I once years ago left a bay leaf in red sause I made. My MIL had a fit and acted like one could die from eating one. So the DH and I have a joke when I warn him I haven't taken the bay leaf out yet that I am trying to kill him. Funny how those jokes stick for years and years.

[yoyomax12]

I've always thought it was good luck to find the bay leaf in your plate! lol!

[PalmOliveSoap]

mmm so good, i wonder if i could cook i think i have a kitchen somewhere?

[yoyomax12]

You really only need a hot plate, lol!

[thenudo]

Normally I am not too good when it comes to lots of ingredients!! That looks GREAT Tammy!! :)

[yoyomax12]

Thanks Tony,

The trick is just to have them on hand. Once your pantry is stocked, it is a breeze.

Do you have any rotisserie chicken places in the Southern USA?

[thizizliz]

Mmmmmmmm, nice combo of flavors. I may try this one too. It sounds wonderful and your chicken looked beautiful too. :)

[yoyomax12]

I love rotisserie chicken! I usually by the canned sauce or the use the one in the envelope (just add water) but this recipe is very close to the restaurant sauce.

I had no idea that Swiss Chalet was a Canadian chain. They are everywhere here in Canada, I just assumed you had them too! lol.

[silverscreamgrl]

Now I have to totally find out what the Swiss Chalet is!! Oooh that looks SO GOOD!!!! I should get a rotisserie. Mmm

Okay, you're right. It has a lot of ingredients, but they all sound like a REALLY good mixture.

HAHAHAH Heck yeah, on a scale of 0-10, 2 billion!! HAHAHAHA too cute :)

[yoyomax12]

Beth,

I had no idea that there were no Swiss Chalets in the USA. I thought it was an American chain! I guess this recipe won't exactly have a broad appeal!

I think that most BBQs have notches in the lid for an aftermarket rotisserie unit. Mine came with the BBQ when I bought it. It cooks a large chicken in about 2.5 hours.

The leftovers are great too. I've even put a roast of pork in there too (just need to baste it).

[auntcc1968]

Mmmm that chicken looks delicious!

[yoyomax12]

The chicken was very good, and leftovers for the next day too!

[Dlorezzz]

Tammy I have never heard of Swiss Chalet sauce before but it looks good but It seems like it has a lot of water in it

[yoyomax12]

It is not a BBQ sauce like the kind most people are used to, it is actually more like a gravy. It is not designed to be brushed onto meat, but for the meat to be dipped into it. It is a very popular sauce here in Canada as we have Swiss Chalet (and other rotisserie restaurants like St. Hubert's) all over.

I really thought there were Swiss Chalets int he USA. Live and learn!

[MaryJaneSlingBacks]

Very nice! I think I will get my family a rotisserie grill! I would use it a lot!

[yoyomax12]

Rhana,

You can cook a whole chicken in about two hours on the rotisserie and it is super juicy. Most grills have spots in the lid for an after market rotisserie unit. Mine came with the BBQ when I bought it.

[candledamachine]

Untraditional, but sounds amazing! I'd turn the leftovers into a soup! ... add some celery, carrots, onion, & peppers, the leftover chicken, and add some pasta ... Voila! (you might have to add some extra stock though, and probably some other seasonings)

Thanks for sharing!

[yoyomax12]

The sauce is very tasty, it actually would make a good soup.

Hubby and son have been known to sip on the leftover sauce because it is so tasty.

[wildheart5]

I don't think I have a Swiss Chalet near me. Could be wrong. It looked really good! You do the same thing I do with thickeners; dip the little bowl in the sauce to make sure it all gets in! You are soooo smart! LOL

[yoyomax12]

You noticed the little bowl dip! lol!

I thought there were swiss chalets everywhere, looks like it is only Canadian!

[EmilyNicole26]

I have never had that kind of BBQ sauce before but that looks really yummy! Do you think it would be good on ribs? We usually cook the BBQ sauce on the meat. Well, when the meat is done we slather it on. :) I love the jokes at the end! hehe

Emily

[binsk]

It's kinda more like gravy.

[yoyomax12]

binsk is right, it is more like gravy. I is designed as a sauce to dip meat in, not really to coat it.

Rotisserie chicken is popular here and most places that have it, have their own version of the "bbq" sauce for dipping.
