Steps:
- Heat a drizzle of EVOO in a saucepot over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and brown to crisp. Then add the garlic and onions and stir to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the ketchup, stock, syrup, mustard, Worcestershire, vinegar and pepper. Stir and simmer to thicken, 20 minutes.
- Heat a drizzle of EVOO in a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the butter and melt. Add the apples and red onions. Season with some salt, pepper and nutmeg. Cook to tender-crisp, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the chicken and sauce and combine. Cool and store for a make-ahead meal. Reheat over medium heat and serve the BBQ chicken, apples and onions on the rolls topped with cheese and pickles.
BACON-ONION JAM
Here is a shockingly good accompaniment to chicken-liver pâté that came to The Times from the kitchen of the Fort Defiance in Brooklyn. But don't think that is its only use. Bacon-onion jam is also a terrific sandwich condiment. Paired with crumbled blue cheese, it's a fantastic topping for a serious, grown-up pizza pie. And because the recipe makes a lot of jam, all three options are possible. One note: Take your time. The point is to cook the mixture until it has achieved full jamminess. The onions should really caramelize. Covered, it will keep in the refrigerator for a week or so.

Steps:
- Set a Dutch oven or heavy pot over medium heat, and add the bacon. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the fat is completely rendered and the bacon has started to crisp, approximately 12 to 15 minutes.
- Drain all but 1 tablespoon of the fat from the pot, and add the onions, mustard seed, brown sugar, vinegar and 3 tablespoons of water. Stir to combine, then cover the pot, lower the heat and allow the mixture to cook undisturbed for 15 or 20 minutes. Remove the top, stir again and then partly cover the pot. Allow the mixture to cook until most of the liquid is gone and the onions have achieved a dark brown jamminess, approximately 60 to 70 minutes. (Add a little more water as needed.)
- Taste the jam, and add salt and pepper if necessary.
- Remove mixture from heat, and allow to cool slightly. Spoon the jam into a jar or bowl, then allow to cool completely. Store, covered, in the refrigerator for up to a week.

SIMPLE ONION AND BACON JAM
Bacon jam isn't just for burgers, add it to grilled cheese, waffles or roasted veggies, the possibilities are endless. I prefer the ratio of more onion to bacon but feel free to add additional bacon. I've made the consistency thicker than a traditional jam.
