Notes
- Any cut of chicken will do in this recipe including drumsticks, legs, and split chicken breasts. If using bone in chicken, marinate as directed and place in a larger casserole dish (and it tends to have more juices). The chicken will need closer to 45 minutes.
- If you'd like a bit of char, broil for 2-3 minutes before removing from the oven.
- This chicken is also great shredded, stirred into the sauce and piled on hamburger buns (add a little chicken broth to the sauce if needed).
- Optional Additions
- Sweet: Maple syrup, honey, brown sugar
- Spicy: sriracha, chili flakes, diced jalapeno
- Tangy/Savory: Apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, ranch seasoning mix
