An amazingly delicious alternative to a ketchup-based BBQ sauce!  This makes a large batch of sauce and is the marinade as well.  Use whole chicken breasts, or cut into small pieces for kebabs. 3 cups mayonnaise 1/2 cup oil 1/2 cup lemon juice 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce 2 T. black pepper 2 T. salt 1/2 cup sugar 1/2 cup minced onion 3/4 tsp. crushed dried chili 1/2 tsp. garlic powder Mix all ingredients.  Marinate 6 lbs. of chicken breasts all day in part of the sauce, and save the rest for serving with the grilled chicken. Another scrumptious idea from a friend: Fry chicken in small chunks and add this sauce to make a filling for a French bread chicken sandwich.  Cut the French bread open, fill with chicken filling, add shredded mozza and bake until hot and bubbly.  Slice and serve.
