President Eisenhower's Favorite Barbecued Chicken image

This HAS to be good!! This was Pres. Eisenhower's favorite BBQ chicken dish. It was published in our newspaper in 1958, and then again not so long ago. I have some chicken in the freezer just waiting for some BBQ sauce!!!

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 (3 -3 1/2 lb) roasting chickens, cut up

2 tablespoons cider vinegar
2 tablespoons brown sugar

1/3 tablespoon yellow mustard
1 cup water
salt, to taste
1 pinch red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium high heat.
  • Brown the chicken pieces, in batches if necessary to avoid crowding the skillet.
  • When nicely browned on all sides, remove chicken, drain briefly and place in a large ovenproof casserole dish.
  • Add the chopped onion and celery to the oil remaining in the skillet.
  • Cook until the vegetables soften, 5-8 minute.
  • Add the vinegar, brown sugar, lemon juice, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, prepared mustard and 1 cup of water.
  • Mix well and taste; adjust seasoning to your taste.
  • Add red pepper flakes, to taste.
  • Simmer the sauce for 30 min to blend the flavors together.
  • While sauce is simmering, preheat the oven to 325ºF.
  • Pour the sauce over the browned chicken in the casserole dish.
  • Cover the dish with foil and bake for about 1 hour, or until the juices run clear.
