Chicken Or Steak With Balsamic Bbq Sauce

Serves 4
Recipe By: Giada De Laurentiis

For the Balsamic BBQ sauce
1 cup balsamic vinegar
3/4 cup ketchup
1/3 cup brown sugar
1garlic clove -- minced
1 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
For the chicken or steak
4 piece chicken (any combination of breast or leg-and-thigh pieces)
or 4 pieces of New York strip or Club strip steak
Salt and freshly ground pepper

For the BBQ sauce
Combine all the ingredients in a small saucepan and stir until all
the ingredients are incorporated and the mixture is smooth. Simmer
over medium heat until reduced by 1/3, about 15 to 20 minutes.


For the chicken or steak
Place a grill pan over medium heat or preheat a gas or charcoal
grill. Season the meat with salt and pepper. Lightly coat with some
of the BBQ sauce using a pastry brush. Place the meat on the grill.
Place the remaining BBQ sauce, still in the small saucepan, over low
heat or on the edge of a gas or charcoal grill and allow to gently
simmer while the meat cooks.

Cook the chicken about 8 minutes per side. Cook the steaks starting
at about 4 minutes per side until a meat thermometer reads the
desired temperature, 120 degrees F for medium rare, 135 degrees F for
medium (about 6 minutes per side), 155 degrees F for well done (about
9 minutes per side). Continually brush the meat with BBQ sauce every
few minutes. Remove the meat from the grill and let rest for at least
5 minutes. Serve with the heated BBQ sauce alongside.

Alternately, the chicken can be baked in the oven. Preheat the oven
to 375 degrees F. Place the chicken skin side up in a baking dish and
bake for 25 minutes. Remove the baking dish from the oven and spoon
the BBQ sauce all over the top of the chicken. Return the baking dish
to the oven and bake for another 15 minutes.
