Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a small saucepan over medium until hot. Cook garlic, turning occasionally, until golden brown all over, 4–5 minutes. Add tomato paste and cook, stirring constantly and scraping bottom of pot, until paste darkens, 3–4 minutes. Add maple syrup, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, and sriracha. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer to let flavors meld, about 1 minute. Remove from heat. Transfer about half of barbecue sauce to a heatproof bowl; reserve for serving.
- Heat a grill pan over medium heat. Grease well. Season chicken generously with salt. Grill until browned on all sides (you can use a traditional outdoor gas or charcoal grill too). Cover grill pan with a little foil, turning chicken every 5 minutes or so, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 165°, 18–25 minutes depending on size. Baste chicken with barbecue sauce while cooking.
- Transfer chicken to a platter. Serve with reserved sauce alongside.
Notes
Do Ahead: Barbecue sauce can be made 2 weeks ahead. Transfer to an airtight container and chill.
