Smothered Barbecued Chicken
Report
My Smothered Barbecued Chicken recipe is juicy, tender chicken braised in barbecue sauce. It's Southern comfort food at its best!

Ingredients
- 3 pounds frying chicken cut up
- 1 tablespoon seasoned salt (recommend: Jane's Crazy Mixed-Up Salt)
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 2 cups barbecue sauce
Instructions
- Use paper towels to make sure the chicken is dry before beginning.
- Place the chicken on a plastic cutting board or other washable surface. Sprinkle all sides liberally with seasoned salt.
- Add the canola oil and butter to a large skillet and heat over medium-high heat until the butter melts. Add the seasoned chicken, skin side down, and cook until a deep brown color forms. Turn the chicken oven and repeat on the other side.
- Remove the chicken pieces from the pan and place them on paper toweling to drain. Pour off excess fat from the pan.
- Add all the chicken pieces back to the pan, nestling them in so that they all fit. Pour over the barbecue sauce.
- Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce the heat to simmer. Cook for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until the chicken is tender. Check frequently during the cooking time and add 1/4 to 1/2 cup water if needed to prevent the barbecue sauce from burning, but not so much that the sauce thins out.
- Arrange the chicken on a serving platter and pour all the pan juices over the chicken.
Notes
- Completely cooled leftovers may be stored in an airtight container, refrigerated, and used within 2-3 days. To freeze, transfer to a freezer-safe container and keep frozen for up to 2 months.
- To reheat, place in a baking dish covered with foil and reheat in a low oven until warmed through. If reheating from frozen, thaw overnight in the refrigerator.
- May be prepared in advance and either held in a very low oven or refrigerated and reheated just before serving.
