I was looking for a new way to spunk up everyday BBQ chicken when I came up with the recipe for Cluckin' Good BBQ Chicken. The flavor is a nice balance between sweet & smokey. It's incredibly simple, but wonderfully delicious as well! Plus you can use whatever kind of chicken you already have or what you enjoy the most.
The ingredients for Cluckin' Good BBQ Chicken are 2 tbsp. of olive oil, salt & pepper (to season the chicken), 1 cup of Kraft hickory smoked BBQ sauce, 1/2 cup of Smucker's sweet orange marmalade, & 4 boneless, skinless breasts of chicken. Start by mixing the BBQ sauce & orange marmalade together. Set it aside, then coat the chicken breasts with olive oil, salt & pepper. Heat a non-stick frying pan to medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts to the pan, searing both sides of the chicken breasts. Then turn the heat to medium-low, coat the breasts with the BBQ sauce & marmalade mixture, cover & continue cooking for approx. 15 minutes(depending on how thick the chicken breast are). The breast should then be fully cooked & smelling quite tasty by now. You could also use split breast, thighs, legs, or wings & bake them in the oven @ 375 degrees for approx. 30-40 minutes, uncovered. Add the BBQ mixture to the chicken 10 minutes before taking it out of the oven.
This is definitely worth trying out for yourself. If it's not your favorite way of having BBQ chicken, it may become someone else's. My favorite part is the pop of orange zest that you get from the sweet orange marmalade. The smokey flavor of the BBQ sauce with the sweet, glazed jelly is the perfect combination for a Cluckin' Good BBQ Chicken!
