This was last night's dinner - an adaptation of a recipe from Bon Appetit. They used pasilla or paprika for the chile, I used Red Lion medium chile powder as it was the only thing I could find at the time (pantry is a bit disorganized right now). This is what I did and it was delicious. I didn't make enough chicken though (the only complaint). Served it with rice pilaf and peas. @@@@@ Oven Baked Chicken w/BBQ Sauce | adapted from Bon Appetit, 7/94 | Sauce: 1/3 cup vegetable oil 1 small onion, minced 3 cloves garlic, minced 3 tbsp Red Lion Med Chile Powder 1 tbsp dry mustard 1.25 tsp dried thyme 1.25 tsp ground ginger 1 tsp Penzey's Sweet Curry Powder 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper 1.75 cups sugar-free ketchup 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice 2 tbsp Splenda 2 tbsp worcestershire sauce 2 tbsp tamari sauce Chicken: 6 chicken thighs dry rub for chicken | The day before cooking, rub some of the dry rub under the skin of the thighs. Refrigerate until ready to cook. For sauce: Heat oil in heavy saucepan over low heat. Add onions, garlic, chile powder and all other seasonings, cover and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Uncover; add ketchup, Splenda, lemon juice, worcestershire sauce and tamari. Simmer until sauce is reduced quite a bit, stirring often, about 20 minutes. Cook chicken in a medium skillet over medium-high heat with a bit of vegetable oil. Brown on one side, turn over and cook on the other. Make sure both sides are browned nicely before putting in oven. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. When hot, place skillet in oven. Bake for 15 minutes, spread some of the bbq sauce on one side, and bake again for another 20 minutes. Remove from oven. Let sit. Brush more sauce on the bare side of the meat and serve. Serves 3-4 | _____ RisaG http://www.geocities.com/radiorlg __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo!
