How does the idea of baked BBQ chicken sound to you? If you want to enjoy moist and flavorful barbecue chicken, then baked barbecue chicken is one of the best options. When you think of "baked" chicken, the image of a conventional oven probably pops into your head, right? Well, there's a better method that you may not have thought of: your barbecue grill!

Yes, that's right. By closing the lid of your charcoal or gas grill, you can simulate the cooking process of a conventional oven. But why should you forgo using a conventional oven? The secret is in the cooking process. When cooking with a charcoal or gas grill, the key is to use low temperatures and a lengthy cooking time. The other feature is the barbecue smoke that creates a unique flavor that only barbecuing can provide. And by closing the lid of your barbecue grill, you're able to simulate the baking process of your oven. So you basically can have the best of both worlds!

Here's a tasty barbecue chicken recipe that everyone in your household will enjoy. You'll need:

8 large halves of chicken breast (with bone and skin)
3 cloves of minced garlic
2 dashes of hot pepper sauce
½ teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons of butter
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon mustard
¼ cup brown sugar
¼ cup chili sauce
½ cup celery seed
1 cup of ketchup

Here's how you prepare the sauce for the baked BBQ chicken. Use a saucepan to sauté the garlic in butter, until it's tender. Next, add the salt, brown sugar, celery seed, ketchup, mustard, chili sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and pepper sauce. Cook all of the ingredients in the saucepan, until the mixture starts to blend. Meanwhile, stir the mixture constantly. Next, remove the saucepan from the stovetop.

Now, it's time to grill your chicken! Using your gas or charcoal grill at medium heat, grill the chicken while the lid is closed-for 30 minutes. Make sure to flip the chicken occasionally, to ensure that both sides are cooked thoroughly. After the initial 30 minutes of cooking, use the sauce to baste your chicken. When the basting is done, grill the meat for another 15 minutes, or until the juices emitted from the chicken are clear. Then during the final 15 minutes of grilling, continue the process of basting and flipping the chicken. It's essential that you continue this process, so the sauce is infused into the chicken, and the chicken is grilled evenly.

After the cooking is complete, remove the chicken from the grill and serve! You can serve it with extra sauce, to allow your family and guests to dip the chicken into the sauce. The sauce is the key to baked BBQ chicken, and this sauce is perfect! That's because it creates a perfect balance of flavors, without one of them overpowering the other ones.

By using your grill, you can enjoy baked BBQ chicken that's better than traditional baked chicken! By following this simple yet fantastic recipe, you'll savor the cooking ease of baked foods, and the flavor of BBQ foods.
