  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 2 kg skin-on, bone-in chicken pieces, excess fat trimmed

Instructions

  • PREHEAT barbecue to medium-low.

  • HEAT a large saucepan over medium. Add oil, then onion. Cook, stirring constantly,about1min. Add ketchup, chili sauce, sugar, hoisin, garlic powder, Worcestershire, chili flakes and salt.
