Baked Barbecue Chicken

Ingredients:

• 3 1/2 to 4 pounds chicken pieces
• salt and ground black pepper
• .
• Barbecue Sauce:
• 3/4 cup ketchup
• 1/2 cup cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• dash pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon onion powder

Directions:

Rinse chicken and pat dry. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. In a saucepan, combine barbecue sauce ingredients, blending well. Bring to a simmer and simmer for 1 minute.

Arrange chicken pieces in a shallow roasting pan or baking dish skin side down in a single layer. Brush chicken with about half of the sauce. Bake at 350° for 25 minutes. Turn the chicken skin side up. Brush with remaining barbecue sauce; bake until juices of the legs and thighs run clear when pierced with a fork, about 20 to 30 minutes longer. Broil briefly for a few minutes at the end if you'd like crispier skin.
Serves 4.
