Baked Chicken Barbecue Recipe

  • 1 medium red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
  • 1 medium green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 2 (8 ounce) cans tomato sauce
  • 1/4 cup raisins
  • 3 tablespoons molasses
  • 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
  • 1 teaspoon mustard powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 4 whole chicken legs
  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Coat a roasting pan with cooking spray.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the bell peppers, onion, garlic, broth, and water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium, cover, and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  3. Stir in the tomato sauce, raisins, molasses, vinegar, hot-pepper sauce, mustard powder, black pepper, and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat.
  4. Place the chicken pieces in the prepared roasting pan. Spoon the sauce over the chicken, turning to coat.
  5. Bake, turning the pieces and basting occasionally with the sauce, for 30 minutes, or until a thermometer inserted in the thickest portion registers 170 degrees F and the juices run clear.
