- Always preheat your oven to 400 degrees for at least 15-30 minutes
- Mix some brown sugar, soy and Worchester sauce, Dijon mustard, ketchup, and water together for a tasty marinade
- Be sure to boil the chicken beforehand. This will help keep it from drying out in the oven.
- Make a few slits in the meat before baking — this will give the barbecue marinade a way to seep into the meat
- Place chicken pieces in a deep baking pan
- Pour your barbecue sauce over it
- Bake for at least 20 minutes or until the juices run clear
- Take out of oven and let stand for 10 minutes to allow its juices to settle for a tastier meal
- Enjoy

When it comes to how many minutes to grill chicken
, you must consider these important facts:
- What type of chicken you are grilling — boneless chicken doesn’t take as long as let’s say, a whole chicken does
- How much chicken you are grilling – a five pound hen will take more than 2 hours to cook on a grill, but two pounds of cut pieces may only take 45 minutes
- Whether or not your chicken has been precooked (of course precooked chicken won’t take nearly as long to finish up on the grill)
- What type of grill you are using – an electric or gas grill that allows you to set the temperature may cook meat faster than a charcoal or wood grill whose temperature is hard to control.
As you can see, a lot of things go into determining how many minutes to grill chicken. So be sure that you have all the facts before setting your cooking time.
