Tangy and sweet are the best words to describe this barbecue sauce. Make a double batch, take some to your next picnic, and you will thank me.
If you prefer not to grill, the chicken can also be baked. Place the chicken skin side up in a baking dish and bake for 25 minutes in a 375°F oven. Remove the baking dish from the oven and spoon the barbecue sauce all over the top of the chicken. Return the baking dish to the oven and bake for another 15 minutes.

Preparation
Step 1
Combine all the barbecue sauce ingredients in a small nonreactive saucepan and whisk until the mixture is smooth. Simmer over medium heat until reduced by one third, 15 to 20 minutes.
Step 2
Place a grill pan over medium heat or preheat an outdoor grill. Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper.
Step 3
Transfer 1/2 cup of the sauce to a small bowl. Grill the chicken for about 10 minutes per side, brushing the chicken with the 1/2 cup barbecue sauce for the last 2 or 3 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a serving platter and let it rest for at least 5 minutes. Serve with the remaining barbecue sauce alongside.
