A delightful twist on classic BBQ chicken, featuring a tangy homemade sauce and perfectly grilled chicken.
Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat and sauté the garlic until fragrant.
Ensure the garlic is finely minced to evenly distribute its flavor in the sauce.
Add the ketchup, brown sugar, chili sauce, Worcestershire sauce, celery seed, mustard, and salt to the saucepan. Stir well.
Stir constantly to prevent the sugar from burning and to blend the flavors.
Bring the sauce to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Set aside.
Simmering allows the flavors to meld together, creating a rich and balanced sauce.
Preheat the grill to medium heat. Place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook for 15 minutes, turning occasionally.
Brush the grill grates with oil to prevent the chicken from sticking.
Brush the chicken with the prepared sauce and continue grilling for another 15 minutes, turning and basting occasionally.
Basting frequently ensures the chicken is coated with the flavorful sauce.
Check that the chicken is cooked through, then remove it from the grill. Serve with the remaining sauce on the side.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
