Chinese-style Bar-Be-Cue Sauce
submitted by: ur-bane

Mix 1 cup of sugar and 3/4 cup of distilled white vinegar until the sugar is mostly dissolved. (If necessary, add more vinegar, 1 tbsp at a time).
Mix in about 1/8-1/4 cup soy sauce. ( i prefer 1/4.....makes the sauce go POW!) put the sauce in a medium (8") pan, and cook over medium heat until it is reduced 50%, stirring constantly. (Should take about 5 minutes. When ready, the sauce should have the consitency of ketchup.)

Cook your chicken on the grill, seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic and paprika.

When the chicken is just about cooked to your liking, brush the sauce on and cook a minute or two more. Be sure to keep the chicken off the center of the grill away from the flames because this sauce will burn in an instant. Turn chicken, brush on last of sauce, heat another minute and serve.

Awesomely finger-licking good General Tso style barbecue chicken!!
It is also great for spare ribs! (Tenderize the ribs overnight in a mix of sodium-free tenderizer and worchestershire sauce)

You can also substitute ketchup for the soy sauce and you have a perfect sweet and sour sauce for chicken and pork. You will need at least 1/4 cup ketchup, though.
