2 cups of your favorite bbq sauce
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (or canola oil)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

CRISPY BAKED CHICKEN



Crispy Baked Chicken image

For pull-apart tender chicken with crisp, deeply spiced skin, rub it with a spicy-sweet mix and roast it low and slow while you're doing something else. Because this chicken is cooked at a moderately low temperature, the spices will bloom but not burn, and the chicken fat will render slowly and completely (which means you don't need any oil). The smoky rub in this recipe will turn the chicken skin into what tastes like a barbecue potato chip, but you can use other spice blends, too, like garam masala or Montreal steak seasoning. Just be sure your mix includes sugar for browning and salt for accentuating flavors. Whole chicken legs (with the thigh and drumstick attached) provide a more generous portion of juicy meat and skin that shatters, but a mix of drumsticks and bone-in thighs work, too.

Categories     dinner, lunch, poultry, main course

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 teaspoons dark brown sugar
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt (Diamond Crystal)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
A heaping 1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne
4 chicken leg quarters (about 2 ½ to 3 pounds), patted dry

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 325 degrees. In a small bowl, stir together the brown sugar, paprika, salt, black pepper and cayenne with a fork or your fingers. Rub the spice mix all over the chicken. (You can do this step 1 to 12 hours ahead. Refrigerate uncovered, then bring to room temperature before cooking.)
  • Place the chicken on a parchment-lined baking sheet, skin side up. Bake, without flipping, until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is crisp, 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes. Eat the chicken with pan drippings spooned over top.

CRISPY BAKED BARBECUED CHICKEN



Crispy Baked Barbecued Chicken image

I love this seasoning mix and sometimes double it to get more crunch. It came from Better Homes & Gardens Cookbook with only two slight adaptations. I usually have to dry slices of bread in my oven & send them through the food processor to crumb, but I usually have all of these ingredients on hand.

Categories     Chicken

Time 1h5m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup fine dry breadcrumb
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
1/4 teaspoon celery seed
3 1/2 lbs broiler-fryer chickens, cut up
1/4 cup butter or 1/4 cup margarine, melted
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Oven temp 375F degrees.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken pieces: For crispy baked barbecue chicken, it's best to use bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or drumsticks. These pieces have a higher fat content, which helps them stay moist and juicy during baking.
  • Make sure the chicken is dry: Before seasoning the chicken, pat it dry with paper towels. This will help the seasoning adhere to the chicken and prevent it from becoming soggy.
  • Use a flavorful barbecue sauce: The barbecue sauce is the key to this recipe, so be sure to use one that you love. You can use a store-bought sauce or make your own. If you're making your own, be sure to use a sauce that is thick and flavorful.
  • Bake the chicken at a high temperature: This will help the chicken skin crisp up and the meat cook through quickly. Be sure to watch the chicken closely so that it doesn't overcook.
  • Serve the chicken hot: Crispy baked barbecue chicken is best served hot off the grill. You can serve it with your favorite sides, such as coleslaw, baked beans, or potato salad.

Conclusion:

Crispy baked barbecue chicken is an easy and delicious weeknight meal. It's perfect for a casual get-together or a family dinner. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying dish that everyone will love.
