Oven Barbecue Chicken

It’s not usual to see soy sauce in an oven barbecue chicken recipe but don’t let that put you off. Baked chicken with a simple adaptation to the traditional bbq sauce ingredients and the difference is amazing – I hope you enjoy it too.

TIP - Taste the barbecue sauce before adding too much salt, there’s a lot of salt in soy sauce so it’s really easy to overdo it.

Ingredients:-

• 8 chicken pieces
• 50g or 2oz butter
• 1 tablespoon oil
  
• Freshly ground black pepper

For the barbecue sauce

• 1 onion chopped
• 2 tablespoons oil
• 50g or 2oz light brown sugar
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons tomato purée
• 300ml or ½ pint water
• Freshly ground salt and pepper

Method:-

Pre-heat the oven to 180°C, 350°F or gas mark 4.

Season the chicken well with the pepper. Melt the butter and oil together in a frying pan and pop the barbecue chicken in to seal. Turn regularly for about 10 minutes until the skin is brown.

For the barbecue sauce, heat the oil in a saucepan and fry the onion for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Stir in the tomato purée and add the remainder of the ingredients, bring to the boil and simmer for 10 minutes.

Place the barbecue chicken in a casserole, pour the barbecue sauce over the chicken, cover and slam it in the oven for an hour. Fantastic!

TIP - It’s important to give the tomato purée time to mix into the onions before adding the remainder of the sauce ingredients because this way you don’t end up with red lumps in your sauce.
