Barbecue Sauce
1 cup balsamic vinegar
3/4 cup ketchup
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 chicken, cut in serving pieces (2 breasts, 2 thighs, 2 legs, and 2 wings)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

Combine all the barbecue sauce ingredients in a small nonreactive saucepan and whisk until the mixture is smooth. Simmer over medium heat until reduced by one third, 15 to 20 minutes.
Place a grill pan over medium heat or preheat an outdoor grill. Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper.
Transfer 1/2 cup of the sauce to a small bowl. Grill the chicken for about 10 minutes per side, brushing the chicken with the 1/2 cup barbecue sauce for the last 2 or 3 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a serving platter and let it rest for at least 5 minutes. Serve with the remaining barbecue sauce alongside.
