What I had to do to squeeze this recipe from my neighbor...but it's worth it. This is a scrumptious version of sticky chicken.

Categories Meat and Poultry Recipes Chicken Chicken Breast Recipes

Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

½ cup prepared barbecue sauce
¼ cup soy sauce
¼ cup red wine
¼ cup maple syrup
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon dry mustard powder
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 cup water

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Whisk together the barbecue sauce, soy sauce, red wine, maple syrup, chili powder, dry mustard powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and cumin in a bowl until thoroughly combined.
Place the chicken breasts into a 9x13-inch baking dish, and pour the sauce over the chicken. Turn the chicken pieces over in the sauce to coat both sides.
Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is no longer pink and the juices run clear, about 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a breast should read 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Remove the chicken from the baking dish, and keep warm.
Pour the remaining sauce into a saucepan, place over medium heat, and bring to a boil. Whisk the cornstarch and water together in a small bowl until smooth. Whisk the cornstarch mixture into the sauce; reduce heat to a simmer, and allow the sauce to thicken, whisking constantly. Return the chicken to the dish, and pour the thickened sauce over the chicken to serve.

Tips:

Choose the right chicken. Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or breasts are best for this recipe, as they will stay moist and flavorful during the cooking process.
Don't crowd the chicken in the pan. If you're using a large pan, you may need to cook the chicken in batches to avoid overcrowding.
Sear the chicken over medium-high heat before simmering. This will help to brown the chicken and add flavor.
Use a good quality barbecue sauce. The flavor of the barbecue sauce will be the dominant flavor in this dish, so it's important to choose a sauce that you enjoy.
Simmer the chicken for at least 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. This will allow the chicken to absorb the flavor of the barbecue sauce.
Serve the chicken with your favorite sides. Mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad are all good options.

Conclusion:

Chicken simmered in barbecue sauce is a simple but delicious dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It's also a great option for parties or potlucks. With just a few ingredients and a little time, you can make a meal that everyone will enjoy.
