Chicken BBQ Sauces in the deep South tend to be lighter and include a little lemon juice. The virtue of this sauce is that it is not only good, but requires no cooking and is made from things you probably already have in the pantry.
This is basically the same technique used in my Oven Ribs Recipe.
BBQ Sauce (double this recipe for 4 whole chicken breasts)
½ cup water
1/3 cup vinegar
1/3 cup ketchup
1/4 cup brown sugar
4 Tbsp. Butter, melted
2 Tbsp. Worcestershire Sauce
2 Tbsp. lemon juice
1 Tbsp. salt, (start with 1 tsp. And add more at the table as needed)
2 tsp. Paprika
2 tsp. Dry mustard
1 tsp. Pepper
1 Tbsp. Chili powder
4 whole chicken breasts, (split in half)
Place all ingredients for sauce in an electric blender and blend well, or just mix up thoroughly with a whisk or spoon.
Place single portion of chicken in foil packages, skin side up.
Pour barbeque sauce over chicken packages, reserving 1 cup sauce. Close the foil and bake 45 minutes in a 400 degree oven.
Open foil packages and pour remaining sauce over chicken.
Bake 15 minutes longer.
No muss, no fuss. Clean up is a breeze.
NOTE:
If you don’t have time to make the sauce just use any sauce you have on hand. In the 1950's they often used salad dressings as barbeque sauces and here that would be quite good.
