Photo: Chicken Simmered in BBQ Sauce Recipe
Ingredients
BBQ Sauce:
- 6 cups Basic Tomato Sauce, recipe follows
- 1 cup ketchup
- 2 to 3 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
- 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
- 1 (12-ounce) bottle dark ale
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce, about 8 dashes
- 2 pounds chicken pieces, bone-in and skin-on
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Directions
In a large heavy bottomed saucepot over medium-high heat, combine the Basic Tomato Sauce, ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire, sugar, ale, and hot sauce and bring to a simmer. Simmer until reduced by half and thickened, about 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, season the chicken pieces with salt and black pepper. Heat a large oven proof skillet over high heat and add the vegetable oil. Sear the chicken pieces on all sides until well-browned, about 3 minutes per side.
Add the prepared BBQ sauce making sure to cover all the chicken pieces. Add 1 cup of water if more liquid is needed to cover. Place the skillet into the oven and bake until the chicken easily falls off the bone and the sauce is slightly thickened and caramelized on top, about 25 to 30 minutes. Serve hot or serve cold as leftovers.
Basic Tomato Sauce (Pomodoro):
5 tablespoons olive oil, plus extra for garnish
12 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
6 (28-ounce) cans chopped tomatoes
2 1/2 teaspoons sugar
Kosher salt
In a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the garlic and cook until fragrant but not browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, bring to a simmer, and cook until thickened slightly, about 15 minutes. Stir in sugar, and season with salt, to taste.
Let extra sauce cool completely and then seal in airtight containers. Refrigerate for up 1 week and freeze for up to 1 month.
Yield: about 6 quarts sauce

I've cooked this recipe for the first time, followed each direction and was delightfully surprised as were the rest of my family. That sauce! Not to mention how scrumptious your house smells while it simmers in the oven. A keeper in my recipe box, for sure.

I've cooked this recipe several times, it's one of my family's favorite dish now.
I served this on my husband's family gathering and it was a blast. I didn't realized how easy it was and turned out to be very tasty. I could taste all the different layers of the ingredients; sweet, tangy, sour.. mmm.. idefinitely a keeper!
Thank you, Dave!
