Tips:
- For a smokier flavor, consider grilling the chicken instead of baking it.
- Feel free to adjust the sweetness or tanginess of the sauce according to your taste preferences by adding more or less sugar or catsup.
- Ensure the chicken is fully cooked before serving to avoid any foodborne illnesses.
- Make extra sauce and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. It’s perfect for marinating other meats or as a dipping sauce for grilled meats and veggies.
