SMOKY OVEN-BARBECUED CHICKEN
2 T butter or margarine
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup ketchup (I used half ketchup and half Siracha ketchup for extra spice)
2 T brown sugar
1 T Worcestershire sauce
1 T liquid smoke
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
One chicken (quartered or cut into 8 pieces)
3 small onions, sliced
About two hours before serving:
In one-quart saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and cook garlic for about two minutes or until lightly browned. Add ketchup along with next five ingredients plus 1/4 cup water; heat to boiling. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer 10 minutes occasionally stirring sauce.
Preheat oven to 375°. Arrange chicken pieces skin side up in large open roasting pan. Arrange onion slices over the chicken. Pour sauce over chicken and onions. Bake for 1 hour 15 minutes or until chicken is tender. Occasionally baste with sauce.
