How to Make Apple Bbq Sauce For Chicken

1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup apple cider vinegar, 1 cup apple juice, ½ cup brown sugar, ¼ cup ketchup, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon onion powder, and ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional).
2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.
3. Reduce heat to low, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly, stirring occasionally.
4. While the sauce simmers, prepare the chicken rub: In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper.
5. Generously rub the spice mixture all over your chicken pieces.
6. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
7. Grill the chicken for approximately 20-25 minutes, basting frequently with apple juice to keep it moist. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
8. During the last 5 minutes of grilling, brush the chicken generously with the apple BBQ sauce.
9. Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve with extra sauce on the side.
