But for some odd reason I found myself thinking about this chicken recipe a few weeks ago. I remembered really liking it as well. So I thought I'd give it a try. I wasn't sure if I would love it as much as the memory...but sure enough, I did! And so did my family.
A couple notes:
My mom always used a whole fryer chicken, but we're not lovers of dark meat, so I used whole chicken breasts. It worked the same. If you want some dark meat, but don't want to use a whole chicken, you can use a mixture of whole chicken pieces.
You absolutely must use bone-in, skin-on chicken. It's the mixture of the BBQ sauce with the chicken drippings that make up the amazing sauce.
You can use any recipe for BBQ sauce that you would like. My favorite is this one. But honestly for a quick and easy meal, a bottle of your favorite store bought brand works great.
ROASTED BARBEQUE CHICKEN
(Recipe from Dixie Nordfelt...my mom)
4 bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts, or 1 whole fryer chicken
1 bottle of your favorite BBQ sauce, or 1 recipe barbeque sauce of choice
4 C. cooked white rice
1 large roasting bag
1. Take a large chicken roasting bag and place it in a 9x13 (or larger) pan.
2. Rinse and dry your chicken pieces or whole chicken.
3. Place your chicken pieces or whole chicken into the roasting bag, as seen above.
4. Pour the BBQ sauce over all the chicken evenly.
5. Seal the bag and place in a 375 degree oven for 45-60 minutes or until the chicken is golden brown.
6. When the chicken is done, remove it from the oven, open the bag and remove the chicken.
7. Drain all the juice that has collected in the bag, into a serving bowl. Stir well.
8. Take the chicken and remove it from the bone, discard all the skin and bones. Shred the chicken.
9. Serve the chicken over rice, topping with the BBQ sauce.
10. Serves 4-6.
