How to make BBQ chicken in the oven?

Question

Do I absolutely need a grill to make good bbq chicken? if not, how to make it in the oven?

How can I make a simple bbq sauce/marinade?

What is the secret to a perfectly roasted chicken? Is it moisture or lack thereof? Should I put something on the chicken and if so what?

Lots of questions! Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I bake my chicken by putting it in sauce the night before and leaving it in the fridge for a night and much of the next day. Then I put it in an oven roaster with some carrots, shallots, and herbs.

Enjoy !!

Here's a few links and methods other than grilling for your chicken:


--Barbecue Chicken Recipes
--Crock Pot Recipe

Ingredients:
2 whole chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
1 1/2 cup tomato ketchup
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1 teaspoon ground red hot pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Directions:

Cut the chicken breasts in half so you have four pieces.

Mix all ingredients for the sauce in the crockpot. Add the chicken breast halves; turn pieces to coat well in the sauce. Cook on high 3-4 hours, or until chicken is fully cooked all the way through.

Shred or cut up the chicken, and place it back in the BBQ sauce in the pot; stir so that all the pieces are coated.

Note: You can keep the crockpot on low to keep the chicken warm for serving on hard rolls.
