How I make it

Barbecue sauce

  1. In a pot, combine the ketchup, vinegar, Worcestershire, soy sauce, both sugars, dry mustard, Dijon and chili powder. Stir well and bring to a boil over medium heat.

  2. Add the ginger, garlic and lemon and stir to combine.

  3. Simmer gently over low heat for 20-25 minutes. Remove from the heat and discard the ginger.

Chicken

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking pan with foil.

  2. Salt the chicken pieces and place them in the pan. Set aside some of the sauce for serving and brush the chicken with the rest.

  3. Bake for 20 minutes without opening the oven.

  4. Turn the chicken with tongs, brush the other side and bake for 15-20 minutes more.

  5. Switch the oven to broil for a few minutes.

  6. Warm the reserved sauce and serve it with the chicken.

What I've learned

  • I keep the serving sauce separate and never use it for brushing the raw chicken.
