The Deen Brothers BBQ Chicken

* 1 cup ketchup
* 1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
* 2 tablespoons orange juice
* 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
* 1/4 teaspoon liquid smoke
* 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard powder
* 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
* 1 (3 1/2-pound) chicken, cut into 8 pieces

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F or prepare a grill (brush the grill grate lightly with oil).

In a large bowl, stir together all ingredients except the chicken. Reserve 1/3 cup of the barbeque sauce; set aside. Add the chicken to the remaining sauce in the bowl, turning to coat.

Arrange the coated chicken in a roasting pan or on the grill. Cook (covered, if grilling) for 40 to 45 minutes or until cooked through, basting with the reserved 1/3 cup sauce after 20 minutes.

NOTES:
So easy and delicious. I took the skin off the chicken breast to cut the fat and they stayed so moist. There was extra sauce to serve on the side for dipping. What a delicious way to serve a bbq chicken during the rainy weather. You boys do your mamma proud!

he only difference in the recipe was that I used skinless/boneless chicken breasts and cut the time back about 5 minutes or so.
