Chicken in Barbecue Sauce
Ingredients:
1 – 2½ to 3 pound chicken, cut into pieces
½ cup flour
1½ teaspoons salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/3 cup vegetable oil
barbecue sauce (recipe follows)
Add salt and pepper to flour and stir to mix. Roll chicken pieces in seasoned flour to coat.
Heat the oil. Brown chicken pieces on all sides over moderate heat, about 20 minutes. If pan is not oven-proof, transfer chicken to a shallow baking pan.
Pour barbecue sauce over chicken. Cover with a lid or foil and bake at 325° for 45 minutes, until chicken is tender. To crisp the top, place baking pan under a broiler for a few minutes. Watch closely so sauce doesn’t burn.

This will put my over stacked barbecue sauce into good use. I must admit I really enjoy barbecuing and have really gotten myself into cooking the supposedly perfect barbecue sauce, so I tend to have too much of it in my fridge. This recipe is just perfect, thanks!
