How to Make Balsamic Barbecue Chicken
- In a small saucepan, whisk together balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, onion powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat or preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Season chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper.
- **Grill Method:** Lightly brush chicken with half of the barbecue sauce.
- Grill chicken for 8-10 minutes per side, or until cooked through and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Continuously baste with remaining sauce during cooking.
- **Oven Method:** Place chicken in a baking dish, skin-side up. Bake for 25 minutes. Spoon remaining barbecue sauce over chicken. Bake for another 15 minutes, or until cooked through and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Remove chicken from grill or oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
- Serve the balsamic barbecue chicken with extra sauce on the side.
