Preparation

Step 1

In medium saucepan, heat vegetable oil until hot. Add pureed onion and cook for 1 minute, stirring often. Add garlic and cook for an additional minute. Add remaining ingredients, bring to a bubble and reduce heat to medium low. Allow sauce to simmer for 8-10 minutes. Once sauce is done, remove from heat and allow to cool before applying to chicken. If using later, allow mixture to cool completely, store in a sealed plastic container in the refrigerator. If using as a side sauce, reheat before serving.
