Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons seasoned salt & ground pepper
  • 1 (3 1/2 pound) whole chicken (cut into pieces, or about 3 pounds of chicken)
  • Oil
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 1/4 cup yellow mustard
  • 1 small yellow onion (finely chopped)
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce (honey garlic BBQ sauce)
  • Cayenne (just a small pinch)
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Pour the flour into a large ziptop bag or into a shallow bowl. Add the chicken and toss to coat the chicken in the flour.

  • Step 2: Heat some oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

  • Step 3: Remove chicken pieces from the flour, shake gently to remove any excess flour.

  • Step 4: Brown the chicken in the pan, seasoning with seasoning salt and pepper while browning (working in batches, if needed, and adding more oil if needed). Place the chicken in a 9x13-inch baking dish.

  • Step 5: Preheat the oven to 350F.

  • Step 6: In a large bowl, combine the brown sugar, water, ketchup, mustard, onion, Worcestershire, lemon juice, salt and BBQ sauce. Stir to combine. Pour the mixture over the chicken.

  • Step 7: Bake until the chicken is cooked through, 50 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the thickness of your chicken. Baste the chicken with the sauce every 20 to 30 minutes, you don't have to baste if you added the BBQ sauce. Serve with rice, if desired.

  • UPDATE: I just made this but also added in 1 cup honey-garlic BBQ sauce, it's even better than before!
