Grilled chicken
Description
I'd like to share a helpful tip: the prepared sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for 3 days. So you can enjoy grilled chicken for several more days, that is, if anything is left of this deliciousness :)
Instructions

Step 1
Mix water and tomato paste in a saucepan until smooth. Then add the remaining marinade ingredients: soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, minced onion and garlic, and finely chopped jalapeño. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly, then reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce reduces in volume (50–60 minutes). Stir frequently toward the end of cooking to prevent sticking. Set aside a quarter of the sauce for serving.

Step 2
Prepare the grill. It's best to use a covered grill with indirect heat. Place the chicken on the grill without adding salt or pepper, and grill, turning occasionally. Monitor the internal temperature of the meat using a special thermometer. It should reach 75 degrees (20–25 minutes).

Step 3
Then move the chicken to the direct heat area and grill it, generously brushing with sauce using a brush and turning occasionally.

Step 4
A beautiful brownish-golden crust should form on the chicken pieces. If necessary, add more charcoal to the grill during cooking.
