Author's Notes

Feel free to use your favorite barbecue sauce for this oven-baked chicken recipe. If I have the time, I may be inclined to make a quick barbecue sauce to go with our dinner. But in this case, for an easy weeknight dinner for the family, we’ll use our go-to barbecue sauce, Sweet Baby Rays. I like Baby Rays because it is a great sauce by itself, but also can be adjusted to tastes. Adding a little vinegar and mustard makes it Memphis-style. Bring in some peach jam or honey to take on a whole new flavor.
