Grilled Chicken with BBQ Sauce
Ingredients
For the Grilled Chicken:
- 50 gm oil
- 1 whole chicken, cut into 8 pieces
- 100 gm barbecue sauce
- 10 gm garlic, crushed
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- 10 gm paprika
- 20 gm mustard paste
- 15 gm lemon juice
For the BBQ Sauce:
- 25 gm oil
- 10 gm chopped garlic
- 20 gm chopped onion
- 100 gm chili sauce
- 50 gm tomato ketchup
- 15 gm tamarind juice
- 10 gm black pepper
- 30 gm honey
- 10 gm paprika
- 5 gm Worcestershire sauce
- 20 gm mustard paste
Directions
1. Prepare the Chicken Marinade:
- In a bowl, combine the oil, crushed garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika, mustard paste, and lemon juice. Mix well to form a marinade.
- Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated.
- Let the chicken marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes.
2. Preheat the Grill:
- Preheat your outdoor grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grill grate.
3. Grill the Chicken:
- Place the marinated chicken on the grill, skin-side down, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes.
- Turn the chicken over, close the grill lid, and continue cooking.
- Baste the chicken with remaining barbecue sauce every 6 minutes.
- Cook until the chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer should read 165°F (74°C) when inserted into the thickest part of the thigh.
BBQ Sauce Preparation
1. Cook the Sauce:
- In a saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat.
- Add chopped garlic and onion, and sauté until softened.
- Stir in the chili sauce, tomato ketchup, tamarind juice, black pepper, honey, paprika, Worcestershire sauce, and mustard paste.
- Simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
2. Serve:
- Brush the BBQ sauce over the grilled chicken just before serving, or serve it on the side for dipping.
