BBQ Marmalade Chicken
Description
"This is a simple dish to make, very tasty. It can be made in a crock pot or the oven. This is delicious served with steamed broccoli and mashed sweet potatoes."
Ingredients
- 1 cup orange marmalade
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 cup of your favourite barbecue sauce
- 12 boneless skinless chicken breasts or 24 boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons cold water
Directions
- In a medium-size microwave-safe bowl, stir marmalade with soy sauce. Microwave, uncovered, on high until softened, 1 minute.
- OR melt in a saucepan, stirring often.
- Stir in barbecue sauce.
- Place chicken in crock pot. Pour in sauce. Stir to coat.
- Cover and cook on high setting 4 hours or low 6 hours.
- To bake, preheat oven to 350F (180C). Place chicken in a large, ovenproof casserole dish that will hold at least 16 cups (4 L). Pour sauce over chicken. Stir to evenly coat. Set on a baking sheet to catch any drips if it bubbles over.
- Bake, covered, in centre of preheated oven until chicken feels springy when pressed and sauce is bubbly, about 1 3/4 hours.
- To thicken sauce, remove cooked chicken to a large serving bowl.
- In a small bowl, stir cornstarch with water until dissolved.
- Carefully ladle liquid from slow cooker or casserole into a medium-size saucepan.
- Set over high heat. Bring to a boil. Stir in cornstarch mixture.
- Reduce heat to medium. Stir until sauce thickens, 2 minutes. Pour over chicken.
- Note: I prefer orange marmalade, ginger marmalade can be substituted. Recipe yields approximately 3 cups of sauce
