BBQ CHICKEN AND BAKED BEANS

DINNER AT HOME

Home alone with the Doggy for two weeks so dinners are not as nice and fancy as when the Wife is here.  I meal prepped BBQ Chicken, Taco Meat and Pasta Sauce to get me through the weeks of eating home alone.  BBQ Chicken and Baked Beans were pretty good.

Who doesn't like a good BBQ Chicken?  Our family loves it.  I start by seasoning Bone In Thighs with a Garlic Spice and Everything Spice plus a little Salt and Pepper.  If I don't use the BBQ like this time, then I sear both sides of the Chicken on a grill pan.  Once I get a nice char on the skin, I place them in a pan and cover with BBQ Sauce.  Bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 40 minutes and you get a moist chicken with a nice crunchy skin.

My Wife could not choose Lemon Chicken over BBQ Chicken so she made both.  I preferred the BBQ version.  Served with delicious Mushrooms and Asparagus.

Simple Baked BBQ Chicken is a big time family favorite.  Easy and delicious.  I season and coat the chicken with BBQ Sauce and then brown on the BBQ or a Grill Pan before placing in the oven at 375 degree oven for about 40 minutes.

This simple BBQ Chicken dinner has to be one of my all time favorites.  I season the chicken thighs and then put them on the grill.  After both sides sear and get grill marks, I coat with a Sweet and Spicy BBQ Sauce.  Serve with fresh vegetables sautéed in a little garlic and butter.

Had BBQ Chicken for lunch at the office and for some reason I decided make BBQ Chicken for dinner.  Reason was the Wife wanted me to use what we had in the refrigerator.  We had Chicken Thighs and Vegetables so that is what I went with.  Actually turned out to be a delicious dinner.

Our entire family loves BBQ Chicken and this batch that I baked in the oven made us love it even more.  Normally I would cook on the outdoor BBQ but there was a lot of wind and a bit of rain plus it was cold.  Must have been in the high 70's rather than our normal 85 degrees.

I used Bone In Thighs with the skin.  Started by seasoning the chicken with Flavor God Garlic Lovers seasoning and a blend of seasonings from the Hitching Post in California.  Placed the seasoned chicken in a bowl and covered with lots of BBQ sauce.  I then placed the chicken in the refrigerator to marinate for a few hours.  Baked at 425 degrees for a total of 50 minutes turning once and re-basting with BBQ sauce.  Highly recommend covering the pan with parchment paper so you have a very easy cleanup.

Had a small BBQ on the lanai that included a delicious Pate and Cheese Platter.  I substituted fresh Carrots, Celery, Bell Pepper and Cucumber for bread and Crackers to stay low carb.  My BBQ Chicken came out perfect.  I used a dry rub of spices and then coated with BBQ Sauce during the grilling process.  Delicious!

I was ready to BBQ some Chicken Thighs when I realized we were out of propane.  

Had to pivot to Baked BBQ Chicken which turned out to be better.  I seasoned and grilled the chicken on an indoor grill pan, coated with BBQ Sauce and then placed in a 375 degree oven for 30 minutes.  The result was amazing.  Crunchy Skin and super moist and flavorful inside.

This BBQ Chicken rocks and is one of my favorite meals.

After the large Sous Vide Prime Rib dinner we wanted something more simple and light.  Made this absolutely delicious BBQ Chicken with Roasted Garlic Potatoes.  I did a dry rub on the Chicken using Flavor God Hot Wings, Garlic Lovers and Chipotle Seasonings along with some Salt and Pepper.  Put the Chicken on the grill and then coated with BBQ Sauce.  For the Potatoes, I cut up a Red Onion, Bell Pepper and the Potatoes.  Coated with Olive Oil, Salt, Pepper and lots of chopped Garlic.  Baked at 400 degrees for 30 minutes.  One of the best BBQ Chicken dinners ever.

I love BBQ Chicken and this simple dish always satisfies.  Coat the Chicken with Cajun Spice, Garlic Powder, Salt and Pepper.  Sear on all sides to crisp skin and seal in flavor.  Cover with your favorite BBQ Sauce and bake in a 375 degree oven for about 30-40 minutes depending on thickness of Chicken.  I like to use large Chicken Thighs which you want to make sure cook through.  Always like to serve with Rice or Mashed Potatoes.
