Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 6 to 8

Ingredients

1 cup all purpose flour
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon poultry seasoning
2 4-pound chickens, each cut into 6 pieces
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
2 large garlic cloves, minced
1 20-ounce bottle ketchup
3 tablespoons (packed) golden brown sugar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 325°F. Mix first 4 ingredients in large bowl. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Drop chicken 2 pieces at a time into flour mixture; toss to coat.

    Step 2

    Heat oil in heavy large Dutch oven over medium heat. Working in batches, add chicken to pot; fry until brown, about 5 minutes per side. Arrange chicken on baking sheet. Bake 20 minutes.

    Meanwhile, pour off all but 1 tablespoon oil from pot. Add onion and garlic; sauté over medium heat 5 minutes. Add ketchup. Fill ketchup bottle with water; pour water into pot. Mix in sugar, Worcestershire sauce and mustard. Boil sauce until slightly thickened, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes.

    Step 4

    Remove chicken from oven. Spoon some sauce over chicken. Return chicken to oven. Bake until chicken is cooked through and glazed, about 20 minutes. Serve chicken with remaining sauce.
