4.7

(14)

Where we come from, barbecue means a great sauce, like this one, and good old chicken, the mainstay of our family business.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 3 to 4 servings

Ingredients

1 cup ketchup
1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons orange juice
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon liquid smoke
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 (3 1/2-pound) chicken, cut into 8 pieces

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    1. Preheat oven to 375°F or prepare a grill (brush the grill grate lightly with oil).

    Step 2

    2. In a large bowl, stir together all ingredients except the chicken. Reserve 1/3 cup of the barbecue sauce; set aside. Add the chicken to the remaining sauce in the bowl, turning to coat.

    Step 3

    3. Arrange the coated chicken in a roasting pan or on the grill. Cook (covered, if grilling) for 40 to 45 minutes or until cooked through, basting with the reserved 1/3 cup sauce after 20 minutes.
