Barbecue Chicken

I have made this many times and I never get tired of it. This is very easy to make and only 4 ingredients. I love making this with baked beans, macaroni, or corn.


Easy Barbecue Chicken

  • Chicken pieces - I used drumsticks and thighs the last time I made this
  • Canola Oil
  • Salt
  • Barbecue Sauce of your choice
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Heat oil in a skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Salt both sides of the chicken. Sear chicken until browned. Transfer to a cookie sheet or baking pan. Brush the chicken with barbecue sauce. Bake in oven until chicken reaches 165 degrees, brushing on a second layer of sauce about half way through the baking time. Total baking time is between 1 hour and 1 hour 15 minutes.

Note: To make sure all of your chicken is cooked all the way through, it is best to take a cooking thermometer and stick it through the smallest piece of meat. Let it cook until the alarm goes off and repeat the step with the other pieces going from small to largest. You could put the thermometer in the largest piece of chicken, I never do though. Especially if you are using white meat. Some of the smaller slices will cook faster and can dry out if it is cooked too long.

Enjoy!
