This is such an easy, scrumptious dinner meal. Chicken on the bone baked in your favorite BBQ sauce served over a bed of rice covered in BBQ sauce.

Provided by PeachWeb

Categories     Low Cholesterol

Time 1h37m

Yield 5-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 whole broiler-fryer chicken, Cut up
1 (28 ounce) bottle barbecue sauce
3 cups ketchup
1/4 cup onion
1/4 cup bell pepper
1/4 cup jalapeno, cleaned well, ribs removed with a spoon
2 -4 tablespoons sugar, to taste
6 cups cooked rice (that means 3 cups of uncooked rice)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Removed skin from chicken and rinse well. Set aside to dry a bit while you perform the other steps.
  • Spray the (in)sides of your baking dish with cooking spray, it will make cleanup easier.
  • Combine BBQ Sauce, Ketchup and sugar in the baking dish. Add in the (optional) chopped vegetables. (You don't have to stop at the ones I've listed. Also good in there is grated carrot, cauliflower, corn, eggplant, mushrooms -- whatever! Just stay away from vegetables that will introduce too much liquid like squash, cucumber and cabbage. You don't want a runny BBQ sauce.).
  • Stir that all up and place your chicken in the baking dish. I like to 'toss' the chicken so it gets completely coated in the bbq.
  • Cover with foil and place into oven.
  • Bake for 1 hour (up to 1.5 hours -- until you see the chicken start to degrade from the bone).
  • Remove foil and return to oven another 15 to 20 minutes to cook sauce on chicken.
  • Serve atop or beside rice covered in the extra BBQ sauce (and vegetables, if you've added any).
  • ** You can also cook this meal in your crock pot (not the rice, of course)-- just throw it all in there. and make the rice when you get home.
  • ** If you have only 2 people to feed, you can do as I have done for the photo and cook up a single large breast (with skin and bone in -- for flavor) in a covered skillet along with the vegetables. Flip after 15 minutes. After another 20 to 25 minutes, pull the breast out, remove skin and debone, cut into cubes. It may not be cooked completely (especially if you threw it in there frozen), so you may see some blood . Then add BBQ Sauce, Ketchup and sugar to pan, and return the chicken to the sauce. Let cook uncovered for about 15-20 minutes to reduce sauce. Alternatively, you could (if you had time and the inclination) place the chicken cubes on a pan, coat with sauce, roast for 20-30 minutes at 400F, put it over your rice and BBW /w veg.
  • The most important things to understand are: 1) it is the flavor of the chicken bones and ketchup that make the BBQ sauce mild enough to eat straight over rice, and 2) avoid vegetables that will add liquid to the sauce.
  • Now, go forth and make BBQ Chicken over rice. :).

One-Pot BBQ Chicken and Rice image

Weeknights are now made easier with this one-pot bbq chicken and rice dish that has loads of flavor and comes together super easily!

Provided by Julie Chiou

Categories     Main Entree

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup your favorite BBQ sauce ((see notes below))
1 tablespoon olive oil
6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1 medium onion (diced)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
2/3 cups frozen corn (thawed)
15 ounce can black beans (drained and rinsed)
3/4 cup short-grain white rice (NOT quick/minute rice)
3 cups chicken stock
1 cup freshly shredded colby jack cheese
Salt and pepper (to taste)
Avocado, diced tomatoes, and parsley or cilantro, for topping

Steps:

  • In a large deep skillet or pot, add olive oil and place over medium-high heat. Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper then brown chicken on both sides. Using a pastry brush, brush a generous amount of BBQ sauce onto the chicken on both sides while it is browning. Remove chicken from skillet once halfway cooked through, about 3-4 minutes. Set aside on a plate.
  • In the same skillet, add onion and garlic. Cook until softened then add corn and black beans. Toss to incorporate. Add the rice to the skillet and gently "toast" it for a couple minutes.
  • Carefully pour the chicken stock in the skillet and add the remaining BBQ sauce into the skillet. Stir to incorporate completely. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Bring to a boil and then reduce to a medium-low heat. Place chicken back into skillet and nestled into the rice and liquid. Cook covered for 30 minutes, or until rice is completely cooked through.
  • Add cheese on top and cover skillet to melt. Once cheese has melted, remove skillet from heat and top with avocado, diced tomato, and parsley or cilantro, if desired.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken. Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or breasts are best for barbecuing, as they will stay moist and flavorful.
  • Use a flavorful marinade. A good marinade will help to infuse the chicken with flavor. Look for marinades that contain acidic ingredients like lemon juice or vinegar, as well as herbs and spices.
  • Cook the chicken over indirect heat. This will help to prevent the chicken from drying out.
  • Baste the chicken regularly. Basting the chicken will help to keep it moist and prevent it from burning.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked through. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.

Conclusion:

Barbecued chicken and rice is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a summer cookout. By following the tips above, you can ensure that your barbecued chicken is cooked perfectly and is full of flavor. So fire up your grill and enjoy this classic summer dish!
