There’s nothing quite like the taste of barbecue chicken straight from the oven. The problem is most cooks don’t know how to cook barbecue chicken in the oven. If you are one of those who want to learn, here are a few pointers to get you started:
- 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
