2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon chili powder
3/4 teaspoon paprika
3/4 teaspoon rubbed sage
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
Pinch of cayenne pepper
3 1/2 pounds mixed chicken parts- legs, thighs, and breast (skin-on), about 8 pieces
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup QUICK BARBEQUE SAUCE, recipe follows
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, like soy, corn or peanut
1/2 medium Spanish onion, chopped
6 cloves garlic, minced
Pinch of crushed red pepper

1 (28-ounce) can whole, peeled tomatoes (with puree), pureed
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

Add the garlic and crushed pepper and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 45 seconds. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, about 1 minute more.
  • Add the tomatoes, vinegar, sugar, and salt and bring to a boil. Lower the heat, and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until deep red in color and reduced to about 4 cups, about 25 minutes. Season with pepper.

KITTENCAL'S EASY OVEN-BAKED BARBECUED CHICKEN



Kittencal's Easy Oven-Baked Barbecued Chicken image

Really this is such an easy recipe I wasn't going to even bother posting it, I have been making this for years and when you can't barbecue outside this is the next best thing! --- Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce works really well or use your own favorite, I most always use my recipe#232433 and prepare the sauce a day ahead --- I did not list the amounts for the seasoned salt and garlic powder as I never measure but probably use about 2 teaspoons each for all the chicken pieces, I usually use about 2 cups sauce but a little more or less is fine -- boneless, skinless chicken breasts work well also but cooking time will need to be reduced, you will *love* this!

SOUTHERN BBQ CHICKEN



Southern BBQ Chicken image

Slow-grilling over indirect heat keeps this chicken moist and tender. Giving the drumsticks a long rub with seasonings makes them taste great. Always baste at the end of grilling to prevent the legs from burning.

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken     Chicken Leg Recipes

Time 9h10m

Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 large cloves cloves garlic, chopped
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
10 chicken drumsticks
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
½ cup finely chopped onion
¾ cup ketchup
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

Steps:

  • Mash brown sugar, garlic, salt, and pepper together in a mortar and pestle to form a paste. Spoon paste into a resealable plastic bag. Add the chicken, coat with the paste, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 8 hours to overnight.
  • Heat oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir onion in hot oil until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir ketchup, vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce into onions; bring to a simmer and cook until flavors blend, about 10 minutes.
  • Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Remove chicken from bag and discard marinade.
  • Cook chicken on the preheated grill until lightly browned on all sides, about 1 minute per side.
  • Turn off one of the grill burners or move the coals and move chicken so there is no heat source directly below it.
  • Baste drumsticks with the sauce and cook another 10 minutes; turn again and baste chicken with sauce. Continue to grill drumsticks until juices run clear, 10 to 15 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
