I love BBQ chicken, it is probably one of the most common meals I make for dinner because it's delicious an easy. Through experimenting and perfecting, I am prepared to share my method for making baked BBQ chicken.
1. Pre-heat oven to 350
2. Place a sheet of tin foil over a baking sheet
3. Spread two spoonfuls of BBQ sauce in the middle of the sheet and place two chicken breasts over the sauce.
4. Cut one or two slits, length-wise, along each chicken breasts. Only cut about halfway through.
5. Fold the foil over the chicken breasts and place in over. Set timer for 20 minutes.
6. While chicken is baking, get a small bowl or cup (I usually just use a paper cup). Mix together a spoonful of melted butter and bbq sauce. Sometimes I add a little bit of lemon juice as well to add a little bit extra.
7. When the timer goes off, unfold the foil and brush or carefully pour the mixture over the chicken.
8. Bake for another 15-20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked all the way through.
A few times I had some extra time on my hands and I coated the chicken with the mixture 2-3 times through out baking and it made it ridiculously moist. However, one time is sufficient.
I usually make my favorite baked fries with this meal, I will have to post that easy recipe later!
The directions are for two chicken breasts, but if you need to bake more just add extra
