Growing up, there was usually a bottle of Heinz 57 sauce in our refrigerator. I love Heinz 57... I could dip just about anything and everything in it. You could find it at almost any restaurant you went to, also. My favorite, even when I was younger, was mixing it with just a little mayo and dipping fries into it. Mmmmmmm.... I can taste it now, actually!! When I moved to Arizona, I noticed that very few (did I mention very few?) restaurants actually carried it. Ok, I could still get it at home, but sometimes you just want something that you can get at home when you go out... am I right? :)
Anyway, I wanted to do a little tribute to my second favorite condiment (Sriracha being number one), so I decided to marinate some chicken in it. I wanted to keep it really simple and bring the true Heinz 57 flavor to the chicken. I took the sauce and added a little honey, garlic, and red pepper flakes to it. Once I was done, I was taking a picture of the bottle in case I wanted to use it here - and lo' and behold I notice a recipe on the back of the bottle for almost the same damn marinade! lol Ok, theirs was just Heinz 57 and honey, but I guess it is true - Great minds really do think alike!!

I love "57" so much I use it as a deodorant.
Mmmmmmmmm! :))
Once my mom got 57 instead of A1 for steaks. I was not amused lol. Can you believe I've never tried it since then??? Looks really delicious. I think I need to buy a new condiment!! :)
That is priceless. I did that with a salad dressing once. I was excited with a new recipe and I opened a package of salad leaves or nuts or something like that and the same almost exact recipe was on the package! LOL
I love Heinz 57 sauce! Zesty, hints of sweetness, perfect with so many foods!
Heinz 57 is my favorite sauce... I loved it as a kid too. I've never thought to use it as a marinade - great idea!
I have never actually tasted Heinz 57. I think I am going to go try some now!
Why is it I haven't been able to look at Heinz 57 the same since John Kerry ran for President? lol
Remind me to steer clear of StephenC. I mean, seriously! ;-)
Does look delicious, Jenn.
Sounds pretty delicious to me!
Grillicious!
Heinz 57 still delivers after all these years.
Yup, we always had Heinz 57 in our house too. Love it. I like your idea of Mayo for dipping.
Really tender and succulent! I too like Heinz sauces.
Jenn, it looks delicious. I, too, have reinvented the wheel on occasion, so I hear you loud and clear. Genius is like that :-). Have a wonderful day.
I grew up in Arizona and in the 70's I remember my mom always used Heinz 57 and honey for a ham glaze. I still to this day do the exact same. So yummy
