The chicken is lightly coated in the prepared tangy sauce grilled and then placed back in the skillet to coat and cook in the sauce, this recipe also works well with pork chops although you will need to adjust cooking time, this is not a sweet sauce, if you prefer sweeter then increase the brown sugar to taste, I also add in 1 teaspoon liquid smoke to the sauce but that is optional, the sauce made up to a day in advance if desired, cooking time is for chicken only, I most always double this recipe, I have also listed the double amounts after the ingredients, if you are doubling keep the onion at one and use no more than 2 tablespoons fresh garlic. Ingredients:
3 -4 tablespoons oil |
1 medium onion, finely chopped |
1 -2 tablespoon fresh minced garlic |
10 tablespoons ketchup (double use 1-1/4 cup) |
6 tablespoons honey (double use 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons) |
6 tablespoons brown sugar (double use 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons) |
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar (double use 1/2 cup) |
2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce (double use 1/4 cup) |
1 tablespoon prepared yellow mustard (double use 2 tablespoons) |
1 teaspoon seasoning salt (or to taste) |
1/2 teaspoon paprika (double use 1 teaspoon) |
1 teaspoon freshly grated black pepper (or use 1/4 teaspoon fine black pepper, or to taste) |
1 pinch cayenne (optional or to taste) |

salt and black pepper |
