  • 1/2kg chicken, cut into 8 pieces
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 cups bottled sauce or Easy BBQ Sauce, recipe follows
    Easy BBQ Sauce:
  • 3/4 cup ketchup
  • 1/4 cup plus 2 tbsp packed dark brown sugar
  • 3 tbsp white wine vinegar
  • 2 tbsp minced onion
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 to 1 tsp hot sauce
  • 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 tbsp chopped scallions (white and light green parts)
  • 1 1/2 tsp freshly grated lime zest

Directions

  • Prepare a medium-hot grill or preheat the broiler. If using the broiler, line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.

  • Put 1/2 of the BBQ sauce in a small bowl, for drizzling and serving. Reserve.
  • Baste the chicken with the remaining sauce and grill or broil for 5 minutes more. Transfer the chicken to a serving platter, drizzle with some of the reserved sauce, and serve with lime wedges and the remaining reserved sauce.
    Easy BBQ Sauce:
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar, onion, mustard, hot sauce, and black pepper. Stir in the scallions, lime zest, and lime juice. Can be covered and refrigerated for up to 1 week.
