A simple way to make Bar-B-Q Chicken that is absolutely delicious. Any left overs make scrumptious sandwiches. Since the oven would be in use anyway we also baked some plain chicken along with the bar-b-q chicken. It's always so convenient to have cooked chicken and chicken broth on hand for quick meals. Instructions for Easy Bar-B-Qued Chicken Place chicken into a baking pan. Cover completely with diluted bar-b-que sauce Cover tightly with heavy duty tinfoil Bake on 350 for 2 1/2 - 3 hours Remove from the baking dish and serve. ----------- Our Book "Celebrating Sixty-Plus Years of Being a Twin to a Special Needs Brother" - https://amzn.to/47uUGuss://amzn.to/3PYh3mJ AMAZON: If you shop through our affiliate amazon link, at no cost to you we will receive a small commission.

These are good warm, room temperature or cold and are healthier than most of the bars you find in stores. These can be mixed up the evening before and placed in the refrigerator. The next morning just add the ingredients of your choice and pop in the oven for a nutritious and warm breakfast. I did some substitutions making it a sugar free version. I'll include the original recipe and note what I used for a healthier sugar free version.
