Ingredients
- kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1 chicken (4 pounds), cut into 10 pieces (breasts halved crosswise)
- ½ cup ketchup
- ⅓ cup apple-cider vinegar
- ½ cup light-brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
- 3 finely minced garlic cloves
- extra-virgin olive oil
Directions
- Combine 1 tablespoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Sprinkle mixture evenly on chicken, then set chicken on a rimmed baking sheet. Let stand uncovered 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, bring ketchup, vinegar, sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic to a simmer in a small saucepan.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened and reduced to 1 cup, about 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, and transfer sauce to a bowl.
- Heat a charcoal grill, creating a two-zone fire with vents partially open. Position coals on one side of the grill for direct high heat, and leave the other side empty for indirect lower heat.
