Oven Baked Chicken In Maple Barbeque Sauce Recipe

Ingredients

4 chicken thighs

4 drumsticks

1 dessertspoon lemon juice

1 medium onion, finely chopped

salt & pepper

For the sauce:

2 tbs pure maple syrup

3 oz (75 ml) red wine

4 tbs soy sauce

2 tbs red wine vinegar

1 tbs tomato puree

1 tsp ground ginger

1 tsp mustard powder (or 1 tbs dijon mustard)

2 cloves garlic, crushed

salt & pepper

Preparation

Mix the olive oil and lemon juice. Place the chicken pieces in a roasting tin with the chopped onion tucked among them. Season with a little salt & pepper and brush the chicken pieces with the oil and lemon juice mixture. When you are ready to cook the chicken, preheat the oven to 200C, then pop the chicken in on a high shelf of the oven and cook for 25 mins.

Meanwhile, combine all the sauce ingredients and blend with a whisk. When the 25 mins are up, remove the chicken from the oven, pour off any surplus fat and pour the sauce all over, giving everything a good coating.

Place back int he oven for another 25 mins, basting twice during this time. After that remove the pan from the oven and place it over direct heat turned to medium. Let it bubble for a few minutes so the sauce thickens.

Serve the chicken with rice and the sauce spooned over.
