We added fresh cilantro and orange juice and zest to bottled barbecue sauce for convenience and terrific flavor. It's especially good drizzled over the onions. Getting the onion rings charred and tender takes only 10 minutes on the grill, and they're the perfect side dish or accompaniment to any protein. The whole dish comes together in less than half an hour and will soon become one of your favorite go-to weeknight dinners.
