GRILL TASTING BBQ CHICKEN COOKED IN THE OVEN


The secret ingredient and method is one you will want to use every time you make baked barbecue chicken.


I have been posting a lot of desserts lately, so I thought it was time for a main dish recipe.  

This Oven-Baked BBQ Chicken recipe is one that I adapted from the oven-fried chicken recipe on the blog, except this time, I didn't coat the chicken with flour.


The luxury of baking barbecue chicken in the oven is preparing your side dishes while it is baking and putting dinner on the table in no time.  

There is nothing better than multi tasking when preparing a meal.

My cast iron skillets are my all time favorite cooking pans.  

Actually, I have several sizes, and there is not a day that goes by that I am not using one of them for something.


The secret to getting the grill taste by cooking it in the oven is to bake the chicken in the cast iron skillet until it is almost done, then crank up the oven and add the barbecue sauce to finish cooking it.  

This way, the sauce thickens and gets that wonderful rich coating that tastes just like if you had grilled it.
