Name: Barbecue Glazed Chicken
Yield: Makes 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 lb shallots, finely chopped (2 3/4 cups); 1/4 cup olive oil; 1 cup distilled white vinegar; 1 cup canned tomato purée; 1/2 cup mild honey; 1/4 cup steak sauce such as A.1.; 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce; 3/4 teaspoon salt; 1/4 teaspoon black pepper; 1 (3- to 3 1/2-lb) chicken, split in half; Accompaniments: 8 (7-inch) flour tortillas or a baguette; green salad

This will make more barbecue sauce than you'll need for the chicken. After measuring out basting and serving amounts, save the leftover sauce for another grilling use. It will keep, covered and chilled, 2 weeks.

Active time: 1 hr Start to finish: 3 hr

Cooks' note:

·If you aren't able to grill, roast chicken, skin sides up, on rack of a broiler pan in upper third of a 500°F oven, basting occasionally, 40 to 45 minutes (cover loosely with foil after 30 minutes if chicken is getting very dark).
