I'm a Texan. We put rub on our Q and serve sauce on the side. Even
though I made the sauce for my DH, of blessed memory, he rarely used it
when I made ribs. He said my ribs were delicious without needing sauce
because of the rub and the smoke flavoring.

If you re-read my post, I said I "painted" the chicken breast with Dijon
mustard. Painting was using the back of a spoon to spread the mustard
on the chicken breast. Never 'slather' anything on any kind of meat here.

Of course, I don't make only one kind of chicken. There are times when
I marinate it in various marinades. I also marinate flank steak which,
when properly cooked, is tender and delicious.
