Oven Baked BBQ Chicken - with quick homemade barbecue sauce

Step 1

Preheat oven to 200°C/390°F.

Step 2

Sauce: Mix all Sauce ingredients in a ceramic/glass baking dish (Note 3), then mix in water.

Step 3

Add chicken and turn to coat. Place chicken skin side down.

Step 4

Bake for 20 minutes. Remove from oven, turn chicken, spoon over Sauce.

Step 5

Bake for a further 30 minutes, then remove and spoon over Sauce.

Step 6

Skim off fat (optional): Tilt pan and spoon or drain off excess fat.

Step 7

Broil/grill - Change to broiler/grill on high. Spoon sauce over chicken generously, then place under grill / broiler for 2 to 3 minutes to caramelise the chicken and the sauce to thicken more. Do not walk away - this can happen quickly!

Step 8

Serve chicken, garnished with parsley or green onions, if using. Pictured in post with Mashed Potato and Green Bean Salad (minus feta).

Step 9

Cornbread, Coleslaw, Potato Salad (or try this no mayo Lemon Potato Salad), Southern Baked Beans, big leafy salad with classic Vinaigrette, steamed corn with butter, bread rolls, creamy mashed potato (or Creamy Cauliflower Mash for low carb emergency!), or Potato & Gravy.
