Description
This homemade BBQ sauce recipe for chicken is easy to make with ketchup, honey, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce.
Ingredients
•
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
•
1/4 cup diced onion
•
2 cloves garlic, minced
•
5 tablespoons ketchup
•
3 tablespoons honey
•
3 tablespoons brown sugar
•
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
•
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
•
salt and pepper to taste
•
2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
Directions
1
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
2
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; sauté until tender, about 2 minutes. Stir in ketchup, honey, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper; simmer until sauce has thickened slightly, about 1 or 2 minutes. Remove from heat; set aside to cool slightly.
3
Dip chicken in sauce to coat on both sides; reserve remaining sauce in the skillet. Transfer chicken onto the preheated grill and cook, turning once, until nicely browned on all sides, about 10 to 15 minutes.
4
Return chicken to the skillet with sauce; simmer over medium heat until sticky, about 5 minutes on each side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
