  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

  • 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce

  • 1/2 tsp hot-red-chili-flakes

  • 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. Continue to cook, stirring frequently to keep sauce from splattering, 5 to 8 min. Reserve 1/3 cup and scrape remaining sauce into a small bowl.
