Ingredients
Method
-
I
PART ONE.
-
II
In 1 or 2 oblong storage containers (depending on size of yours - I need 2) pour 1/2 - 1 cup of BBQ sauce on bottom of each container and tilt container until BBQ sauce evenly coats bottom.
-
III
PART TWO.
-
IV
Put chicken inside Dutch Oven or other large pot with lid.
-
V
Fill with water until water is about 2 inches higher than chicken.
-
VI
Bring to boil and cook for 15 - 20 minutes - no longer or chicken will be tough.
-
VII
Pour chicken & water into colander to drain water.
-
VIII
Leaving chicken in colander turn on cool water and while holding chicken leg or thigh under water pull off skin & any fat (usually on thigh pieces).
-
IX
Place each piece into the container (for thighs place the piece meat side down - the side the bone isn't sticking out of).
-
X
Pour rest of the BBQ sauce evenly over the chicken making sure to cover all the meat.
-
XI
Cover container and put into fridge either for the rest of the day or overnight. Because the chicken is hot it absorbs more of the BBQ sauce flavoring.
-
XII
Tip - Because the sauce hasn't been cooked I save the extra sauce in a freezer bag in the fridge till the next time & use it first to line the container bottom. It doesn't go bad.

XIII
PART THREE.
-
XIV
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
-
XV
Place coated pieces on greased oblong pan.
-
XVI
Bake for 40 minutes (tastes even better if done on a grill).
