Honey BBQ Sauce for Grilled Chicken

4 servings

30 minutes

This aromatic honey barbecue sauce is a true find for grilled chicken lovers. Its roots trace back to European culinary traditions where sauces play an important role in enhancing the dish's flavor. The velvety texture of butter and the sweetness of honey create harmony with the tangy-salty notes of ketchup, lemon juice, and Worcestershire sauce. A hint of freshly ground black pepper adds depth, while caramelized onions provide richness. This sauce perfectly complements tender chicken breast, making it juicy and flavorful. It can be used not only for marinating but also as a dip for fresh vegetables or baked potatoes. Storing it in the fridge allows you to enjoy its taste long after preparation.
