How to Make the Easiest-Ever Barbecue Chicken

A shortcut barbecue sauce for a chef in a hurry! Use this recipe if you want a sweeter barbecue sauce that's quick to prepare, but still homemade.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 1-1/2 to 2 lbs chicken parts
• 1 onion
• 2 cloves garlic
• 2 tablespoons cooking oil
• 1-1/2 cups ketchup
• 1 cup brown sugar

1. Heat two tablespoons of cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

2. Coarsely chop an onion and mince or crush two cloves of garlic. Add the onion and garlic to the pan, with one-and-one-half to two pounds of chicken parts, and cook, turning occasionally, until the chicken is browned all over.

3. In a small bowl, combine one and a half cups of ketchup and one cup of brown sugar, and stir until completely blended.

4. Add the sauce to the pan, and turn and rearrange the chicken until it is covered with the sauce. Place a lid over the pan, partially covering it. Reduce the heat to medium, and cook until the chicken is done. (Chicken is cooked when it reaches a temperature of 170 degrees registered on an instant-read thermometer, and pricking the meat yields clear juices.)
