BBQ Chicken Recipe

Usually, a good BBQ chicken recipe will include ingredients such as ketchup, mustard, garlic, cumin and many others. One popular recipe even calls for a can of beer. Several Asian variations make use of soy sauce, honey, Hoisin sauce and ginger. Many recipes call for sugar, cinnamon and Worcestershire sauce.

As you can see the flexibility and variation is quite broad and what it usually boils down to is personal preference. But, some recipes stand out. One such recipe is was featured on Paula Deen's show 'Paula's Home Cooking.' It's called 'The Deen's Brothers BBQ Chicken' which can be cooked in the oven or on the grill and includes the following ingredients:

* 1 cup ketchup
* 1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
* 2 tablespoons orange juice
* 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
* 1/4 teaspoon liquid smoke
* 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard powder
* 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
* 1 (3 1/2-pound) chicken, cut into 8 pieces (I usually just go with thighs)

Preparing this BBQ chicken recipe is fairly simple and straightforward. You need to first preheat the oven to 375F or prepare the grill by brushing it will olive oil. Mix together all the ingredients in a large bowl (except for the chicken) and save 1/3 cup of the bbq sauce for later. Now add the chicken to the remaining sauce in the bowl and make sure it's nicely coated. Place the coated chicken on the grill (covered) or on a roasting panand cook for 40 to 45 minutes or until cooked through, using the reserved 1/3 cup sauce to baste the chicken after about 20 minutes.

Yumm-o!
