Barbecued Balsamic Chicken

By Brenda Bradshaw & Cheryl Mutch, M.D.

Looking for tasty, long-weekend recipes? This barbecued chicken should do the trick with its kid-friendly, tangy flavours.

 

Ingredients

Serves 4 to 5.

  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp grainy mustard
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tsp sesame seeds (optional)
  • 1 chicken, cut into pieces (2 thighs, 2 breasts, 2 drumsticks and wings)

 

 

Directions

1. In small saucepan, combine ketchup, balsamic vinegar, honey, mustard, Worcestershire sauce and garlic. Bring to boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes, or until flavours combine. Remove from heat and add sesame seeds. Stir and allow sauce to cool.

2. Preheat either outdoor grill or oven to 400°F.

3. If barbecuing, place chicken skin side down on grill and cook for about 10 minutes. Turn and cook for another 5 minutes. Brush chicken with barbecue sauce and cook for another 5 to 7 minutes.

4. If baking in oven, place chicken skin side up in roasting pan. Bake for approximately 20 minutes. Remove chicken from oven and spoon barbecue sauce over top. Return to oven and bake for another 20 to 25 minutes. When cooked, chicken should be moist and juices will run clear.
Serve with extra barbecue sauce on the side.
