How to Make Sweet N Spicy Onion Glaze

In a small bowl, combine 1 cup finely chopped yellow onion, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more, to taste), and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
Whisk all ingredients together until well combined.
Bring the mixture to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly (about 5-7 minutes).
Use as a glaze for chicken, spareribs, kabobs, hamburgers, or frankfurters. Brush generously onto your favorite protein during the last 15-20 minutes of cooking time, basting occasionally to ensure even coating and caramelization.
