DELICIOUS OVEN-BAKED CRANBERRY BARBECUE CHICKEN (OR TURKEY LEGS)



Delicious Oven-Baked Cranberry Barbecue Chicken (Or Turkey Legs) image

This is SOOOO good! You can double the complete recipe and bake in a roaster pan, throw in a chopped green bell pepper and/or a jalapeno pepper also if desired! Four small turkey legs can be used in place of the chicken, if using larger turkey legs then double the cranberry sauce and BBQ sauce, also the cooking time will need to be increased.

Finger Lickin' Oven Barbecue Chicken image

This recipe makes a very flavorful sauce that is perfect on chicken or used to jazz up plain rice. It is great to fix when you want to grill but the weather just won't cooperate! Even people who don't like barbecue love this sauce. I typically like to double it and set some aside for extra dipping

Provided by Chef Buggsy Mate

Categories     Chicken

Time 1h15m

Yield 2 cups, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 -4 lbs chicken pieces
1 small onion, chopped
1 cup ketchup
3/4 cup water
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons buffalo wing sauce (I use Ken's brand)
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons prepared yellow mustard, well rounded
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon canola oil

Steps:

  • Pour canola oil into a large frying pan and heat over medium heat.
  • Add chicken pieces and brown well.
  • Remove chicken and place in a 9x13-inch baking pan.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Add onion to the frying pan and stir well; scraping up and brown bits from the chicken.
  • Sauté about 2 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl combine remaining sauce ingredients and stir to mix well.
  • Pour sauce mixture into frying pan with onion and stir to combine.
  • Simmer sauce for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
  • Pour over chicken, then flip pieces so that both sides of the chicken get coated with sauce.
  • Bake chicken for 30 minutes or until juices run clear.
  • Note: If you double the sauce so you have enough for extra dipping, make sure you only pour 1/2 over the chicken before baking. The remainder of the sauce can simmer gently while the chicken bakes.

Tips:

  • Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade is what gives the chicken its flavor, so make sure to use one that you like. Some popular options include barbecue sauce, honey mustard, or teriyaki sauce.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the chicken will not cook evenly. Make sure to leave some space between each piece of chicken.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through: The best way to tell if the chicken is cooked through is to use a meat thermometer. The internal temperature of the chicken should be 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving: This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Oven-barbecued chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can make sure that your oven-barbecued chicken turns out perfect every time.
