Preparation method

Prep: 5 mins | Cook: 1 hour

1. To make the barbecue sauce, stir together everything but the chicken in a saucepan over medium heat and bring it to a boil. Simmer on low heat for 15 minutes. Reserve half of the sauce for serving and keep the other half in a bowl by the grill.
2. Preheat the grill to Medium (or Medium-Low) and lightly oil grate.
3. Place the chicken on grill. Grill the chicken for about 40 minutes, turning every 5 minutes or so. Then baste with the sauce by the grill and grill for another 10 minutes. Chicken needs to be at least 160 degrees F internally.
4. When you serve up this BBQ chicken, offer guests the sauce you reserved to pour over it.
