Where we come from, barbecue means a great sauce, like this one, and good old chicken, the mainstay of our family business.

　　

Ingredients

Makes 3 to 4 servings

　　1 cup ketchup

　　1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar

　　2 tablespoons orange juice

　　1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

　　1 teaspoon liquid smoke

　　1/2 teaspoon dry mustard powder

　　1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

　　1 (3 1/2-pound) chicken, cut into 8 pieces

　　

Step 1

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

　　

Step 2

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

　　

Step 3

3. 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.
