From Everyday Food: Great Food Fast, this recipe “is so easy and quick to put together, you may never rely on store-bought sauce again. And what’s more, you probably already have all the necessary ingredients in your kitchen.” This is true, I did have all of the ingredients in my kitchen, with the exception of the hot sauce. I made mine a little smokey instead by stirring in a pinch of cumin.
1 tsp hot sauce
1/3 cup cider vinegar
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup molasses
3 tbsp dijon mustard
3 garlic cloves, minced (1 1/2 tsp)
1/2 cup ketchup
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine hot sauce, vinegar, brown sugar, molasses, mustard, garlic, and ketchup. Stir well and bring to a simmer. Simmer 5-7 minutes or until sauce thickens.
This recipe can be used on cut-up chicken pieces on the grill or on boneless, skinless chicken breast in the broiler.
On the grill:
Toss chicken pieces (about 3 lbs) in a large bowl with 1 tbsp vegetable oil and season with salt and pepper. Lightly oil grates and place the chicken on the grill. Cover and cook, turning frequently until chicken is almost done, 10-15 minutes. Uncover grill, continue cooking while basting frequently with the sauce, until the chicken is glazed thoroughly, about 5 minutes. Serve with remaining sauce.
In the broiler:
Season 5-6 chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Coat broiler pan in cooking spray. Brush sauce over both sides of chicken. Cook 25-30 minutes, rotating and coating chicken every 10 minutes until done. Serve with remaining sauce.
