Dear Readers,
Below is a really simple BBQ sauce you can make from scratch. There is no need to buy a ready made BBQ sauce that is loaded with fat, sugar, and ingredients we cannot pronounce. This sauce can be used for chicken, pork, or steak. Also, use it as a dipping sauce. Enjoy!
Ingredients
For the Balsamic/Chipotle BBQ sauce:
1 cup balsamic vinegar
3/4 cup ketchup
1 tsp ground chipotle pepper
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 pieces chicken (any combination of breast or leg-and-thigh pieces)
Salt and freshly ground pepper
For the BBQ sauce:
Directions
Combine all the ingredients in a small saucepan and stir until all the ingredients are incorporated and the mixture is smooth. Simmer over medium heat until reduced by 1/3, about 15 to 20 minutes.
For the chicken:
Place a grill pan over medium heat or preheat a gas or charcoal grill. Season the meat with salt and pepper. Lightly coat with some of the BBQ sauce using a pastry brush. Place the meat on the grill. Place the remaining BBQ sauce, still in the small saucepan, over low heat or on the edge of a gas or charcoal grill and allow to gently simmer while the meat cooks.
Cook the chicken about 12-15 minutes per side. Continually brush the meat with BBQ sauce every few minutes. Remove the meat from the grill and let rest for at least 5 minutes. Serve with the heated BBQ sauce alongside.
