Ingredients

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1/2 red onion, chopped

1/4 cup apple cider vinegar

1/4 cup brown sugar, a couple of handfuls

1 cup chicken stock

1/2 cup prepared honey mustard (recommended: Honey Cup brand)

1/2 teaspoon allspice, eyeball it

1/2 teaspoon curry powder, eyeball it

4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breast

4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs

Vegetable oil, for drizzling

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

  1. Preheat grill pan or griddle over medium high heat.
  2. Pour 2 tablespoons vegetable oil into a small saucepan over moderate heat. Add red onions and saute 3 to 5 minutes. Add vinegar and reduce by half, 1 to 2 minutes. Add brown sugar and cook 1 minute to incorporate. Whisk in broth and honey mustard, allspice and curry. Bring sauce to a bubble and reduce heat to lowest setting.
  3. Coat chicken with a drizzle of oil and salt and pepper, to your taste. Place chicken on hot grill and cook 4 or 5 minutes, then turn. Baste chicken liberally with sauce and cook another 5 minutes. Turn once again and baste. Cook 2 or 3 minutes more to cook through and transfer chicken to a platter and serve.

This recipe has become a household staple for my family, and my family is normally very picky! I tend to make it just as the recipe is written, except I cook my chicken ahead of time (boneless skinless breasts typically), and shred it up and mix into the sauce. Served over rice or with roasted potatoes - YUM! <div><br /></div><div>I also often double the sauce recipe because otherwise there just doesn't seem to be enough. My vegetarian son eats the sauce poured over rice with the chicken omitted - another great way to use this yumminess. One of my favourite recipes EVER.</div>
