Instructions

• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, warm the oil. Add the onion and cook until tender, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute more. Add the remaining sauce ingredients, including ¼ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper, and whisk to combine. Bring the sauce to a boil, and then reduce the heat and simmer gently until thickened slightly and the flavors have blended, about 20 minutes. Remove from the heat. Reserve ¼ cup of the sauce for basting the chicken.
