For the recipe
First, let’s prepare the homemade BBQ sauce!
Fry the onion in the oil in a medium size saucepan for five to six minutes. Add all the remaining ingredients and seasoning. Bring to a simmer and cook over a low heat for 25 to 30 mins, until thickened. Place the mix in a food blender and blend until smooth. Place into a container to cool down before moving it to the fridge.
Now, prepare the BBQ chicken:
Preheat oven to 160C degrees, set to grill function.
Place the homemade BBQ sauce in a bowl, add BBQ seasoning, salt, sesame seeds and the De Nigris Gold Label Balsamic Vinegar, set aside.
Place chicken on a foil lined baking tray, drizzle with olive oil and cook in the oven on the middle shelf (not too close to the top), for about 20 minutes, then cover them with the BBQ sauce, place them in the oven again and cook them for another six to eight minutes.
To ensure the chicken is thoroughly cooked, insert a sharp knife into the thickest part of one fillet. The flesh should be white, with no hint of pink remaining.
