Categories     Chicken     Bake     Kid-Friendly     Condiment     Bon Appétit     Small Plates

Yield Serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

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

Steps:

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh chicken. Fresh chicken will marinate better and have a more tender texture.
  • Choose the right marinade ingredients. The marinade should contain acidic ingredients (such as vinegar, lemon juice, or yogurt) to help tenderize the chicken, as well as flavorful ingredients (such as herbs, spices, and garlic) to give the chicken a delicious taste.
  • Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes. The longer you marinate the chicken, the more flavor it will absorb.
  • Use a large enough container to marinate the chicken. The chicken should be completely submerged in the marinade.
  • Cover the container and refrigerate the chicken while it is marinating. This will help to keep the chicken cold and prevent it from spoiling.
  • When you are ready to cook the chicken, drain the marinade. Do not cook the chicken in the marinade, as this can cause the chicken to become tough.

Conclusion:

Chicken barbecue is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. By following the tips above, you can make sure that your chicken barbecue is flavorful and juicy every time. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give chicken barbecue a try.
