Steps:
- Pour BBQ Sauce into pan, fill the empty bottle with tap water (or something fancier if you're"that way") and pour about half of it into the pan as well.
- Stir until blended over low-medium heat.
- Add thawed chicken.
- Cook chicken and sauce while stirring over medium heat until chicken is done, then turn down to low.
- Keep an eye on it and add more water from the bottle if needed.
- For rice, just add rice and water to a pan with a tight-fitting lid, bring to a boil, stir for a minute, and cook at medium heat for 30 minutes while COVERED.
- when everything's done, pile it on a plate and eat it up.
- Sometimes I add a dash or two of"Kick-Yo-Ass" hot-sauce for a little spice.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Removed skin from chicken and rinse well. Set aside to dry a bit while you perform the other steps.
- Spray the (in)sides of your baking dish with cooking spray, it will make cleanup easier.
- Combine BBQ Sauce, Ketchup and sugar in the baking dish. Add in the (optional) chopped vegetables. (You don't have to stop at the ones I've listed. Also good in there is grated carrot, cauliflower, corn, eggplant, mushrooms -- whatever! Just stay away from vegetables that will introduce too much liquid like squash, cucumber and cabbage. You don't want a runny BBQ sauce.).
- Stir that all up and place your chicken in the baking dish. I like to 'toss' the chicken so it gets completely coated in the bbq.
- Cover with foil and place into oven.
- Bake for 1 hour (up to 1.5 hours -- until you see the chicken start to degrade from the bone).
- Remove foil and return to oven another 15 to 20 minutes to cook sauce on chicken.
- Serve atop or beside rice covered in the extra BBQ sauce (and vegetables, if you've added any).
- ** You can also cook this meal in your crock pot (not the rice, of course)-- just throw it all in there. and make the rice when you get home.
- ** If you have only 2 people to feed, you can do as I have done for the photo and cook up a single large breast (with skin and bone in -- for flavor) in a covered skillet along with the vegetables. Flip after 15 minutes. After another 20 to 25 minutes, pull the breast out, remove skin and debone, cut into cubes. It may not be cooked completely (especially if you threw it in there frozen), so you may see some blood . Then add BBQ Sauce, Ketchup and sugar to pan, and return the chicken to the sauce. Let cook uncovered for about 15-20 minutes to reduce sauce. Alternatively, you could (if you had time and the inclination) place the chicken cubes on a pan, coat with sauce, roast for 20-30 minutes at 400F, put it over your rice and BBW /w veg.
- The most important things to understand are: 1) it is the flavor of the chicken bones and ketchup that make the BBQ sauce mild enough to eat straight over rice, and 2) avoid vegetables that will add liquid to the sauce.
- Now, go forth and make BBQ Chicken over rice. :).
Tips:
- Prep Your Ingredients: Always slice your vegetables and prep your marinade ahead of time. It will make the cooking process much smoother.
- Use a Variety of Vegetables: Don't limit yourself to just one or two types of vegetables. The more colorful your stir-fry, the more nutritious and flavorful it will be.
- Cook Your Vegetables in Stages: Vegetables cook at different rates, so it's a good idea to cook them in stages. Start with the vegetables that take the longest to cook, such as carrots and broccoli, and then add the faster-cooking vegetables, such as bell peppers and snow peas, towards the end.
- Don't Overcook Your Vegetables: Vegetables should be cooked until they are tender-crisp, not mushy. Overcooked vegetables lose their nutrients and flavor.
- Use a Flavorful Marinade: The marinade is what gives your chicken its flavor, so make sure it's packed with delicious ingredients like soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil.
- Let Your Chicken Marinate for at Least 30 Minutes: The longer you marinate your chicken, the more flavorful it will be. If you're short on time, you can marinate it for as little as 15 minutes, but the longer the better.
- Cook Your Chicken Over Medium Heat: Cooking your chicken over medium heat will help it to cook evenly without burning it.
- Serve Your Chicken and Vegetables Over Rice: Rice is the perfect accompaniment to chicken and vegetables. It's fluffy, delicious, and soaks up all the flavorful sauce.
Conclusion:
Chicken and vegetable stir-fry is a delicious and healthy meal that's perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make, packed with flavor, and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this chicken and vegetable stir-fry a try. You won't be disappointed!
