Easy Barbecue Sauce

This sauce can be used for chicken thighs or breasts. It calls for oven baking, but it can also be used for grilling. I did not need to bake the chicken as long as was recommended in the recipe -- just bake until done. You can also do this in a crockpot.
4 T water
3 T ketchup
3 T brown sugar
2 T vinegar
1 T lemon juice
2 T Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon each salt, dry mustard, chili powder
  • Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. In a small saucepan over medium heat, stir together the water, ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar, lemon juice, and Worcestershire sauce. Season with salt, mustard powder, and chili powder. Simmer the sauce for 15 minutes.
  • Place the chicken thighs into an oblong baking dish, and pour the sauce over them. Cover tightly.
  • Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven, then reduce the temperature to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C), and bake until nearly done. Remove cover, stir and bake uncovered for 15 minutes.
