Honey Mustard Barbecued Chicken

SAUCE
2 Tbsp vegetable oil
1/2 red onion, chopped
1/4 c apple cider vinegar
1/4 c brown sugar
1 c chicken stock
1/2 c prepared honey mustard
1/2 tsp allspice
1/2 tsp curry powder

Chicken
4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breast (6 to 8 oz each)
4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
Vegetable oil, for drizzling
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Preheat grill pan or griddle over medium-high heat.

Add vegetable oil to a small saucepan over moderate heat. Add red onions and sauté, 3 to 5 minutes. Add vinegar and reduce by half, 1 minute or 2. Add brown sugar and cook 1 minute to incorporate. Whisk in stock and honey mustard, allspice and curry powder. Bring sauce to a bubble and reduce heat to lowest setting.

Coat chicken with a drizzle of oil and salt and pepper, to taste. Place chicken on hot grill and cook 4 to 5 minutes, then turn. Baste chicken liberally with sauce and grill another 5 minutes. Turn once again and baste. Cook 2 or 3 minutes more, then transfer chicken to a platter and serve.

Personal variation: I didn't have a red onion so I used a vidalia onion. I only do 4 breasts and the sauce can be reduced to a half portion. I did not have my pan hot enough so it took much longer to cook, and you can see I cut them in half to speed up the cooking process.

These look really good. I bet the curry with the sweetness of the brown sugar is a great combination. Great chicken recipe! Thanks for sharing!
