Recipe(tried): Laurier BBQ Sauce

As a native of Montreal and a very frequent customer of Laurier during the first 25 years of my life, I too was eager to find a way to make this delicious chicken at home, especially now that I live in the States. On a visit to Montreal 23 years ago, my husband and I actually brought a friend who was something of a gourmet (and gourmand!)to try to pinpoint the ingredients in the sauce. He was quick to identify allspice and coriander as key features in the wonderful sauce. Voil !

Now I just stop by the supermarket, pick up a chicken or two, some frozen fries and 2 cans or jars of ready-made chicken gravy (I know-it's not from scratch but still), such as Franco-American or Swanson. I heat up the sauce on the stovetop while the fries are cooking and I add allspice, coriander, parsley and freshly ground pepper. It's yummy and makes me miss Montreal. Now if I could just figure out how to make that wonderful chocolate pie, though I find that it used to taste better years ago. My friend said the brand of chocolate was the secret, but he was unable to narrow it down beyond that point.
Hope this helps.
