A delightful twist on classic BBQ chicken, featuring a tangy homemade sauce and perfectly grilled chicken.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Ensure the oil is hot before adding the onion for even cooking.
Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent.
Stir frequently to prevent the onion from burning.
Mix in the tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, honey, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Stir well.
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Simmer the sauce on low heat for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Simmering allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Preheat the grill to medium heat.
Clean the grill grates before preheating for better results.
Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 20 minutes, turning occasionally.
Use tongs to turn the chicken to avoid piercing the meat.
Baste the chicken with the sauce and continue grilling for another 20 minutes, turning and basting occasionally.
Basting frequently adds layers of flavor to the chicken.
Serve the grilled chicken with the remaining sauce on the side.
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley for a pop of color.
